RH 9 chess program to Fedora

Thank you - I found the place now... although I have been there few
times but I failed because I am not a detective, and Linux, now I know,
was made for detectives - the "download" is always hidden, and if it is
found and you are naïve enough to think "rpm -i will work the first
time...

And then you have to guess where the dependencies are("run google"), and
if you find them you have to guess which one is suitable for your
machine - and most of the data is encoded within the file name...

Sorry for the frustration, but Linux is good and lovely, but it is not
user friendly. The man is the same as unix had 20 years ago - keep the
"no examples at all" line.

Oh yes - I know the term RTFM (I wrote many user guides in my life, and
god knows how many times I said:"why don’t they read"), and trust me I
try the official Linux answer ("run google").

Again - thanks for guiding me.

Yigal
