[CLUE-Tech] rpm incremental upgrade?

[Michael Clark]

I think that Ed is a Debian user, thus 'upgrade' to RH 7.0 may be realative ;-).

I would try to find the tar.gz file for either the binary or the source and
compile it.  This would eliminate the cart/horse problem of the RPM.  I have
heard rumors of the two versions of RPM conflicting, so you will probably want
to remove any traces of RPM, then install the tar.gz version.

Ed, are you still with Debian??
