Both times I did a clean install the updated happened without my doing anything. 2. You are right the appearance of the FC5 packages caused the trouble. However, where did they come from in a clean install. One persons suggestion that the dries.repo was the culprit. That may well be the case but I can't check it now. 3. Well GNOME disappeared in the space of one day. I did nothing but run yum and run Add and Remove software but at no time did I ask it to remove GNOME. I have no evidence as to what happened to GNOME but you will have to believe me that I ran no program that I would expect to remove software. Finally, the bugzilla you indicate above reports behavior contrary to the behavior I have observed. On my machine the automatic updates occur periodically until I disabled the feature. > -- ======================================================================= In a great romance, each person basically plays a part that the other really likes. -- Elizabeth Ashley ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
