Tanks for having answeref to me.

I haven't found it in mandrake 9.1 (perhaps because I can't realize to well
use the rpm installer (I can't realize how to tell him to seek in a certain
CD, or in an other), but I have looked in all rpms stored in the 3 cds
directory rpm and I'haven't found any GRASS rpm) .
I have too an other CD for Mandrake containg Grass 5.0.2  but it's tar.gz
and I can't raise to install the decomprimed   .tar   .


>Where did you get this grass rpm?

I have downloaded it from this link
http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/misc/freegis/intevation/freegis/gnu-linux-i586/freegi
s-1.2.4/i386/

I'll try this evening (I can't connect during the day from my house (I've
yet an old 54 k connection, utilizing the same line of home telephone) ).
I hope I'll raise to install it. In an eventual negative case I'll post
again tomorrow.

Thanks again
