Greetings; I finally got yum to run again, by rpm -Uvh --oldpackage to put a bunch of libxml2* and libxslt* stuff back in from the FC2 iso images. I've added the required excludes to /etc/yum.conf to keep the self destruction at bay (but I still, after all the mewling, fail to understand why yum is allowed to update its required dependencies with crap that doesn't allow yum to function ever more), but now when I type yum update, I get this exit: Resolving dependencies ....Unable to satisfy dependencies Package nfs-utils needs kernel >= 2.2.14, this is not available. Now folks, FC2 never to my knowledge had a kernel as old as 2.2.14. The original kernel from FC2 has long since been rm'd but kernel* is in the excludes as I'm running on any one day, the latest stable 2.6 built from tarballs, or even Ingo Molnars Realtime-Preempt series, currently booted to 2.6.12-RT-V0.7.51-38. In mode 4, but watch for IRQ hungry stuff lagging X into oblivion, requireing an X restart. As nfs is something thats NEVER worked here, I'd like to try it. So I've installed the original kernel but with a --justdb option, and it appears to be working. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
