You can disable a repo be adding/changing 'enabled' (i.e. enabled=0) will disable a repo. You might also try deleting the yum cache dir: rm -rf /var/cache/yum/* Your best bet would be to just remove openoffice.org and reinstalled it with yum. rpm -qa | grep openoffice.org rpm -e --nodeps 'list of packages that the above cmd returns' Bob -- Bob Kashani http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~bobk/garnome
