One clarification please: When you say > The easiest way I know of is to rpm -Uvh --oldpackage the list of 33 > packages (with full file names or URLs for each). does "full file names" mean the "full name of the rpm" including the version numbers as found in "updates-testing", or does it mean the "full rpm name of the de-installed packages from "updates" or something else. (I may take your advice about waiting. Then again, there's nothing liking trying something new in order to learn. I hope I don't learn that I should have taken your advice. :-) Den -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
