I doubt that the 'install/remove software' feature would work after that. I have not tried this but it sounds like a bad thing to do. Yum is an application, actually made in several pieces, that helps you solve dependencies and find the needed packages. I would think, never have tried, that using the 'other option', update existing, from the DVD and not reinstall but update would have also fixed this. - -- David -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) iD8DBQFFnz7OAO0wNI1X4QERAgSrAKCIli/hXzXEl06CHAbkYK7hxy5nQwCgqnyb ceL3zRDzD6S0N18vqs/CB80= =oeAN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
