It is better then playing with 5.5. Yes, at 64, I'm in no hurry to do other than as you wisely suggest; meanwhile, last evening, I implemented Ubuntu 10.10 as my network management station so I could wait a while and spend some quality time learning how to fix the broken system. The problem as I understand it with SL6 et al is that our rural server room is full of single-purpose-built Compaq RAID-based machines (cpqarray) and as I understand it, support is ending for those with the sunset of 5 :( Meanwhile, I wish for Ubuntu's "fix broken system" option. > Also, Centos/SL 5.6 is due, so maybe you better wait for it's release > and combine upgdare and switch at the same time. YES, you are correct about that. I believe there's something lurking beyond my current ability to get my head around the rpm database issues involved in Karanbir's comments, namely: "All that you should need to do is install centos-release, remove redhat-release rpms and just yum update the machine, which should bring in all packages changed by CentOS ( since they will have a slightly higher E-V-R )." Seth, Karanbir, et al have forgotten far more than I'll ever know about such matters. THANKS for your input. It is fully appreciated. kind regards/ldv -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJNQyMEAAoJEB0dC460bSP1KVEH/1UeFbhluO1yhW6OQ5l/3zDH ttqW5QSN7DPTdJft02DiRFdqIUl0F9vHxsFtFAZJrhDdubRi/wJAVYXSdh5APLBr vn1bndoa+QIZTB271hKFFmmW90qtmCFWuXx/bWRTN5G02LpRaG7jE+NXQvyKhfX4 nxk73O6r2w62IHLVngMFNkbr6iE+LAYsXg7TEFKtKo3Dm8jiq25YM7Q3WURPAB2d FBwCTSLPlTkX+1LM5kJTOMIq0CSdKciukaVWQ83ck2KszRUeYldlzPOEWEOe7Ud4 ihl6VFiKtDBTqXNzKCWT3/sQysa1odWqarKfLTOgfpVHSemu/SALeDXwHKejFjA= =vDRV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
