If it causes you no problems, you may as well leave it there. I just said that I saw no reason to use it, though I have seen people mention problems with it. To remove something installed by yum, use the remove option. i.e. yum remove preload By the way, before doing "yum -y" anything, consider why you're doing that. You're answering "yes" to anything ahead of being asked about it. Normally, I'd suggest you're best not to use "-y", let yum start working things out, then answer yes or no when it asks you whether to proceed. That way you don't end up installing or removing a pile of things that you don't really want to. For instance, in some cases there's a lot of dependencies on some package. You might want to remove a package that you don't actually use, but the dependencies will take out most of your desktop when you remove that package. Or you might want to try out some package that you heard about, but the install will drag in a few hundred megs of other packages, too. If you answered "yes" ahead of time, you don't get a chance to stop that. >> It suggests using tmpfs for /tmp and /var/tmp.

By the way, please configure your gmail account so that it doesn't send HTML. It's a nuisance, in several ways, and you'll find some list members will delete your mail the moment they see HTML content. If you don't know how to, please ask, someone on here will be able to give you a simple answer for it. -- [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.
