I was mad because it was impossible for anyone to now how to fix it. I am back on F8 right now and it seems to be working fine.

So you decided to venture into Fedora 8 country again. Hopefully things will go a lot smoother with the newer installation.

Regarding rpm --force, it does not work out as --replacefiles --replacepkgs does if yum pukes all over your installation because of an rpm failure during the transaction. --replacepkgs works out better and removes the bogus previous version which was already removed from your rpm database. I recently had an opportunity to test the options to rpm since during a 60 plus when compiz-gnome failed. There was a big mess to cleanup afterwards. That was with Fedora 9 to be though and not Fedora 8.

Good luck!
Jim
