You still have to build it to get it to work. Given that you seem to not be aware of what src rpms are, you're probably better off using a prebuilt yum package. As I said before. Get the rpm from the centos project (http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/3/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/yum-2.0.8-1.centos.7.noarch.rpm) or check out pyvault if you want a newer version. -- Jim Perrin System Architect - UIT Ft Gordon & US Army Signal Center
