I just starting using Grip for the first time this evening and I read 
the man & info pages on it.  I was able to rip some CD's.

Red Hat 7.2 should have installed (by default) Grip executable in the 
/usr/bin directory.

If you should decide to rip and encode mp3 it should place the files in 
your home directory under your default encoder.  If your default decoder 
is oggenc then you should find your ripped+encoded files in /home/ogg 
directory.

After you have confirmed that you indeed have Grip then you might make 
sure your permissions are set correctly on Grip and your CD drive so you 
can rip it under your user account.

Hope this helps.  I have only been using Grip for the last couple of 
hours and I have only been using Linux for one month now.  So, maybe 
somebody else can help you out more than I.

I haven't made it to one of the meetings yet.  I heard they had one this 
evening.  I plan on attending the next one.  When would that be?  Since, 
the 1st is a Holiday will the next meeting be on the 8th or 15th?
