Code:
pwdas per below
Quote:[anyweb@localhost GoodWeather]$ pwd/home/anyweb/downloads/GoodWeather

Do the following as root to get working on Fedora Core 3
add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list
rpm [/url]http://apt.sw.be fedora/3/en/i386 dag
save and exit, then type apt-get update
next type this..
rpm --import [url=http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt]http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
Next you'll want to do the install command
apt-get install gdesklets
This should download it and abunch of its dependancies.
I recieved the following error after installing and trying to type gdesklets in aterm as my user.
NameError: global name 'gnomevfs' is not defined
I solved this by downloading the following package.
apt-get install gnome-python2-gnomevfs
Have fun!!
