Again I will start again and we > will see what happens. Let me add the the above. It has been suggested that my yum did not work because I upgraded rather than installed. I am re-installing to settle this but I remember clearly that I formatted th drives during the previous install so it could not have been an upgrade. The fc5 Rpms that showed up must have been introduced by yum, pirut or the system upgrade messages I keep getting. My contention is still that one of these programs is screwing this up but we will see. If no one else finds this happening to them I will have to concede that I am wrong. We will see. -- ======================================================================= You will find me drinking gin In the lowest kind of inn, Because I am a rigid Vegetarian. -- G.K.
