   Q 3.1: I installed an Ethereal RPM, but Ethereal doesn't seem to be
   installed; only Tethereal is installed.

   A: Older versions of the Red Hat RPMs for Ethereal put only the
   non-GUI components into the ethereal RPM, the fact that Ethereal is a
   GUI program nonwithstanding; newer versions make it a bit clearer by
   giving that RPM a name starting with ethereal-base.

   In those older versions, there's a separate ethereal-gnome RPM that
   includes GUI components such as Ethereal itself, the fact that
   Ethereal doesn't use GNOME nonwithstanding; newer versions make it a
   bit clearer by giving that RPM a name starting with ethereal-gtk+.

   Find the ethereal-gnome or ethereal-gtk+ RPM, and install that also.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
