Hi, I'm installing 8.0.2 on Mandrake and I saw binarys rpms only for RH.
Can someone tell me if is better install a rpm version or compile from
source in this case?

Thanks, Alejandro

the rpm should work fine, even though it's rh.
if not, rpmdrake ( urpmi ) will remove 8.0.2 so building from sources
with clean system will be possible.

I haven't had any joy trying to install the Redhat RPMs on mandrake 10.1.
It might be me but I did take some time trying.  I also tried using the
SRPMs and building my own but that didn't work either.

Since then I've compiled my version and it works great.  The only thing I
needed to do was mess around with the startup scripts a bit.
