Kai: Thank you.  I will do that, ASAP. Either *very* early some morning,
before my wife is using her box, or when she's not home. I am not using
a specific mirror. The other boxes also have priority working and yum
gives the message about 259 (?) packages are protected and the Kernel
updates on them were OK. However, as I am typing this, I suspect that I
updated the Kernels on the other 2 boxes, by checking that they be
updated in "PUP", with a couple of other packages, and not with the
blanket "yum update" as I did in her box, with the command line.

Thank you for pointing that out. I do not believe that is a setting in
Gmail. When I signed up for the list (3 years ago), I selected the
Digest, because we had to go back to dial up, when we moved here. We
have ADSL now, so I just changed that, to get individual emails from the
list. That should begin Monday or Tuesday, and, hopefully, my messages
will look better, when I reply. Also, during the past few days, with the
DVD reader problem and this one, I have also done some reading of the ML
Archives on the CentOS web site and copied messages there that I replied
to, before I received them in the Digest the next morning. Hopefully,
when I begin receiving individual messages, when I reply to them, the
threading will not get screwed up, as it is now. Lanny
