>> If yum is helping you then maybe you have time available to help others. << Yes, that's true. Without yum, I'd still be reconstructing my Fedora test 2, test 3, FC1 test machines. As it is, I have two clean, updated, FC1 installs where I can play. If only those pesky customers didn't want me to work.<s> thanks for yum, pass it on, Cliff Kent
