The idea is that there'd be a config option to yum to switch the space check off but rpm will do the check itself regardless? If this is the case it probably wouldn't help us much. We almost never run out of root drive space but we often have the occasional hung mount and it's generally much more important to make sure that all the right updates get applied than it is to make sure we don't fill something up. --=20 Miles Egan <miles@xxxxxxxxx> --=-ujwBxmAASaBHI75dJ9QQ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA+aRpyU4Jq/wH1PVERAtjTAKC7B3HodMZBY6TQRFjfDd18waa6IACfUIRf JMJcD1DbSjJnYZdb2GnN5Ho= =hYie -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-ujwBxmAASaBHI75dJ9QQ--
