I downloaded the package, but it seems to need the Apache source? Does 
anyone know the best place to get that for KRUD/RedHat 8.0? It doesn't 
seem happy with just httpd-devel...

(Another piece that seems to be broken after upgrading from 7.3 to 8.0: 
RedHat took away kpackage, but the Package Management tool has a broken 
subset of the RedHat Package Management tool that's described in the 
redhat docs: it has a title that says "Add or remove packages", a list 
of package groups, and 2 buttons: Update and cancel. No help, no menus, 
no way to switch to a flat list of packages, no discernable way to find 
out what files are in a package... no search tools or way to examine an 
rpm without installing it... Is this what it is supposed to do? Or did 
the upgrade process, which is broken itself and only runs in text mode 
from the CD, mangle something? Is there a different entry point to the 
tool that actually provides some functionality that isn't showing up 
via the command line and iconic invocations? GRRR.)
