I have tried loading wwwoffle, but being new to Fedora and</div><div>Linux as a whole, I have not been able to get it running. Simple questions</div><div>like which version of wwwoffle do I want to use. There is no Fedora 9 version</div><div>available.... or any version of Fedora for that matter. Which version of</div><div>Red Hat would be compatible? Should I use a .rpm package which seems</div><div>to be the easiest approach as I don't have to compile from source code (I think).</div><div><br></div><div>What about gpg keys or other things like this. When I tried installing version</div><div>wwwoffle-2-1.8b-2.0.1.el3.i386.rpm using the command</div><div><br></div><div>> yum localinstall <i>filename.rpm</i></div><div><i><br></i></div><div><i></i>it seemed to install and even downloaded needed dependencies,</div><div>but there was a warning right at the end that had to do with a PublicKey</div><div>I believe.</div><div><br></div><div>After the installation, I had no idea if it would automatically start at reboot</div><div>or not. It doesn't seem to be working. Can it run on an XS without</div><div>impacting other activities of the XS? If Squid doesn't provide caching</div><div>effectively in poor internet connection situations, why would XS us squid</div><div>for servers going into developing countries?</div><div><br></div><div>Can you point me someone who is using wwwoffle on an XS who might</div><div>be able to give me some insight.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for all your help,</div><div>Andy</div></body></html>
