Eg. yum update-minimal --security ...will update to the oldest pkgs which fix all security bugs. Note that you need the old packages available (as the RHEL-5.3 repos. do). Also with recentish yum versions you can manually do: yum update blah-1.2.3 which will work even if blah-1.4.6 is available. -- James Antill -- james@xxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
