When the command has completed, I'd expect everything to be installed that I asked it to install, without regard to whether it was already intalled. I'm trying to say "whatever it takes, make sure all of these packages are installed/updated." Where "whatever it takes" can be optionally nothing. But I can see the points you make in a subsequent post. A command line option for this behavior would be fine with me. In the meantime, my workaround is just to run yum multiple times. Eric
