That's close to what I saw. I had: 1. yum install some packages without removing the appropriate old package. 2. yum successfully downloaded but did not install some other packages. I have had some intermittent internet weirdness during yum updates. But, I _think_ I was always able to ^C out of yum and wait until later. I couldn't say for sure if that includes my one bad run. I'm pretty sure that yum update was run from the local console. Probably via "su -" to get a root window in KDE. I do take the warning about using ssh root@hostname when I can avoid it and will reserve that for my local net. Cliff Kent
