Hi, If you want any semblance of a logical response you're going to have to slow down and give more details, like: What commands did you use to install these various things? What is the exact output after installing one or the other? Also, it seems like you are going about this the hard way - FC2 has a very happy version of yum that it came with, why not just install that binary rpm and use that version of yum? If you want to upgrade python/yum to newer versions, why not just install FC4? Greg
