To check, type 'which electricsheep', and if nothing is found it /should/ be OK to just ignore the conflict (all that will be replaced is the interface file, and rpm should make a backup - It did when I installed the ATI libGL ages ago on my old Madrake system). If which finds a binary, then you already have electricsheep (just choose it in the xscreensaver-demo window) -- Paul Nolan Veni veni venias - ne me mori facias! .
