what os are you using? For fedora core, I "putty'd" to root, and used the command yum install php-gd

[shedt_v]

i'm pretty new to linux and servers, could i just use the ssh prompt?

-------------

it don't like my password for root. tried to change it grrr


i'm using godaddy's virtual dedicated server, but only the simple control panel.

i might upgrade to plesk, as i've used it before, but i'll need to re-format so i dunno
