Greetings,

I was not able to get the 1.8.10-1 RPM to work with RH 8.0 (either building 
from the SRPM or using the binary) - lots of X errors at startup.   What I 
wound up having to do was to build an RPM from AfterStep-1.8.11.tar.bz2 
(http://www.afterstep.org/Download.php - it includes a spec file so it's it's 
easy... but I could email you the RPM if you like).  I also experienced some 
odd problems with wharf animation using the stock RH 8.0 kernel (I think this 
is related to RH changing HZ, I have to use a different kernel anyway so it 
isn't a big deal for me).  Afterstep is working fine under stock RH 8.0 here 
right now.  Hope this helps.

Mark
