Hi Steven:
Thanks for your comments. I'm afraid I'm not quite ready yet to make the 
switch to non-rpm based distros. I've been using Linux for the past number of 
years, starting back with RedHat 7.0. The RPM has become somewhat of a 
familiarity you might say, and I kind of like them. However, I do  find it a 
bit of a pain when I had Scribus 1.2.2 cvs running perfectly from a desktopp 
directory until my hard drive died a sudden and quite unexpected death about 
a month ago. Had to do a complete system reinstall on a new (and bigger!) 
hard drive, and it was only then that the problems started with Scribus. 
Hopefully Mandrake will be more advanced when I upgrade to the next version, 
but that won't be for a while. For now I'll just do the regular updates and 
live with it.
Scribus 1.0 will do what I want it to for now, and I guess that's all that 
really matters.
