[Novalug] yum problem

Why I like Linux...

[root@doc GTK+]# gparted
    * I don't have gparted on my machine *

[root@doc GTK+]# yum install gparted
    * stuff happens *

[root@doc GTK+]# gparted
    * gparted starts runs, looks pretty*


Note that yum also installed the 5 other packages needed by
gparted without me having to fish around and install them.  Guess I've
never gotten over the trauma of umpteen attemps to install stuff via
rpm due to missing dependencies and wrong installed versions. :P
