If I am not wrong, the RPM ones (the Cygnus ones) include the Norman's modular stylesheets version 1.44, a couple of scripts and some Cygnus DSSSL stylesheet customizations by Mark Galassi. On the contrary, the ones from Norman Walsh are more up to date (I think they are version 1.46 or 1.47). If you think that it is better to update only when it is really necessary, it is a good idea to stay with the rpm ones. If you need any of the bug fixes available in 1.45, 1.46 or 1.47 (Norman Walsh keeps a good ChangeLog for these purposes), or to help Norman find and fix bugs or missing features, get the zip file from Norman's web page and install the stylesheets yourself, but bear in mind that you will not have the advantages of the rpm packaging system. (Another solution if you feel comfortable with rpm is to download and "patch" the stylesheets-0.10.src.rpm from cygnus to use the most up to date Norman's stylesheets). Up to you. Regards, Ramon.
