OH @$#%%$$#^ Fedora doesn't do mc pine or lyx ???????????

[duncan brown]

pine is not released under the GPL but under an extremely restrictive license, which is what (from what i understand) keeps it from being installed from the fedora cds.   i havn't tried in about 4+ years, so it has probably changed, but from what i remember pine and pico (come in the same tar) are extremely difficult to compile.

i did a quick google for "pine fedora apt" and the second link was:

http://dag.wieers.com/packages/pine/

so, there you go... install the pine from dag's repository and your life will be easier.  i have no idea how reputable the repository is, but i've heard alot of good things about it.

she's crashing her car in an intersection
she did not see the light
she's walking round and round in a shopping mall
as if she had no sight
dreams are only clouds that form and dissipate
the sky is a highway for metal birds
and land is real estate
she does not understand
her world depends upon a history of lies
she walks right by all her old high school friends 
for she has dollar signs in her eyes
