Hello, The good news is that OpenAFS rpms are now included in the "main" urpmi repositiory in Mandriva 2007.0. It is quite easy to install. I have written up some notes for installing OpenAFS on Mandriva 2007.0 here: http://www.angelfire.com/hi/plutonic/2007_02_08_install_OpenAFS_on_mandriva_2007.text HTH. -- cheers Paul Blackburn http://acm.org/~mpb
