Quit updating! :) I'm on the bobsled ride to the Chinese multiple-versions of Hell on greased rails with this. I can't get out of the "yum update Hell" reserved for those of us caught up in it. I tried to drop back a couple of kernel versions, and putting the nvidia stuff back, which led to the kernel being updated back to what I was running, and when I managed to get the 2869 kernel, it's loaded the i585 devel package. So, I ripped THAT back out, erased anything that looked like it in /boot as rpm -e didn't pull those out for me (?) THEN I re-installed what I had before, sitting here in long-johns like I had good sense, haven't shaved, haven't done anything of real value today, just futzing. Xine worked, played one video, crapped out and refused to play anything else and reverted to not working WHILE it was running. God almighty THAT one is a new one for me, a running app working just fine, goes back to it's old behavior in the middle of selecting a new file, that plays just fine with mplayer. What is with that? This has been a mind-blower. It's almost 4pm and I'm just getting dressed. Someone shoot me, please. I have no life. <sighs> Ric -- ================================================ My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity.
