re: jmf and urpmi

Thanks for the advice on urmpi, I did try it once, but I have got out of the habit using rpm's after finding that the rpm available at the time for abiword on Mandrake 8.2 was useless junk - it looked pretty on installation but it crashed if you tried to save a file as .rtf or .doc and crashed if you tried to print.

I built abiword from source and it worked a treat - no crashes. All I had to do was deuglify the fonts. So from then on I have mostly installed from source.

I am therefore a little dubious of a lot of rpms and that is why I asked if anyone had tried installing XFce 4 on Mandrake 9.1 from rpm.
