haha, well i'm good at following instructions, typically ;)

i definitely have yet to understand program paths (and rpm's i guess) here.. 

i downloaded the server RPM file that is listed for fedora7 on the amanda 
download page, and used the command
/bin/rpm -ivh <rpm name(s)>
when installing it (per the "Installing amanda binaries" page on the zmanda 
wiki).


i have no idea where it installed amdump, i've just been following the 
instructions to install/config everything per the amanda qikc start guide.. so, 
past that i dont know...

sorry for my lack of understanding on how everything works here.. its beginning 
to make me frustrated, i feel certain you guys are like "geez look at this 
idiot" or something..  [Shocked] 

(edit) i really hate not being able to figure this out on my own... so if you 
feel more inclined to point me towards any sort of reference material rather 
than trying to walk me through trying to figure this out (or even explaining 
this seemingly simple stuff), that works for me. i much prefer the method of 
teaching the guy to do it rather than doing it for him method myself.

Thanks again!!
