It is next to impossible to avoid if you install a new piece of software, though. It'll depend on other more recent files, then you have to update those, and further, dependencies. Which can be quite pain when installing one new thing involves hundreds of megs up updates. It can be easier to just periodically keep things up to date, to head off that sort of thing. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
