No, if you are lazy, you don't use glint. Glint is crap. I can't get it to recognize RPM files anywhere but /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS. If I tell it to look in some other directory, it says there are no RPM files in that directory. (The name sucks, too. "Glint"? I'd expect that to be a graphical lint, perhaps. The obvious name would be xrpm). --Tim Smith
