[plug] RPM- "glint"

Can anyone lighten my darkness a bit: I had been using RH 5.2 which
supported a reasonably user friendly utility from xterm called "glint"
This invoked a program that did the legwork for xxxxxx.rpm files. I now
have RH ver 6.0 which calls Gnome by default in response to "startx"
Gnome has never heard of "glint" but no doubt there is some kind of
alternative. Problem is that I don't know about it. Can anyone help.

Point-2 Gnome as parcelled with the RH-6 CD that I have seems to be
prone to fits of bad temper, and more or less locks up the system. It
will support more than the one window, and there are a number of other
bugs. I believe that there is an update to RH-6 which is supposed to fix
some at least of these problems.

Advise would be much appreciated,

Len Bird
