Oops, I left something off of my wish list.  I've found a couple of
applications or utilities that have dependencies higher than the 
installed package list (for example, PHP 4.3.0 or better).  That's one
of the <many> reasons I wanted to upgrade the RH 8.0 box.

I bought 5.2, 7.1 and I think 8.0 in retail boxes, but I normally save 
that for hardware upgrades.

Thanks for the info.
