That way, if you want it, install 2.2. If you don't, then don't worry about it. This might be friendlier than then a full branch. It all depends on what other differences between 1.5 and 2.2 cause you trouble. In my experience, almost everything that works under 1.5.2 works fine under 2.2, and those things that don't are easily fixed so they do. Not sure what the shebang line should be in /usr/bin/yum though. You might just have to say "run it as 'python2 yum'". -Michael -- Michael Stenner Office Phone: 919-660-2513 Duke University, Dept. of Physics mstenner@xxxxxxxxxxxx Box 90305, Durham N.C. 27708-0305
