Garrick, My group is successfully using yum 2.4.3 on thousands of RHEL 3 boxes running the stock Python 2.2. Before that, we used yum-2.2.x and it worked great. Are the docs just out of date? I've heard yum shell is broken on yum-2.4.x on RHEL 3, but we've never run into that issue. /Brian/ -- Brian Long | | IT Infrastructure . | | | . | | | .
