At this point you will have skipped the broken and may now need to tidy up. In general a major number update done from media is quicker, much less painful and much better tested. In the cleanup steps look at the yum man page for options like check-update, group-install, grouplist, --obsoletes and most helpfull to me in the past "yum list extras". Inspect the result of "rpm -qa" for things that do not make sense. -- T o m M i t c h e l l Found me a new hat, now what? _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
