[ale] ramblings of a rpm session from hell

[Scott Castaline]

Holy Crap!

Looks like dependency hell!

That's what I'm going through right now with FC6 and installing
Win4LinPro; Wine; IE4Linux; and hplip-1.7.1. I'm begginning to wonder if
I've lost my mind for starting this journey. Of course I've always have
said, "Hey, I was born crazy! What's your excuse?" My wife always
replies that she married me,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,\;=O
