But I guess it raises another question. I'm running yum 2.0.7 and if I type : yum update yum then I get a message that says "yum is installed and the latest version" after the usual gathering header information & finding updated packages stuff. Is there an easy way to use yum to get version 2.1.10 or do I need to I hunt around for an ftp site, download and rebuild the latest from scratch ? Thanks, Tony
