Making it a two step process at least makes them think a tiny bit more about the very-possibly stupid act their about to undertake. oh and for future reference: consistency with rpm's user interface is not and will not be a design goal of yum development. It may end up that way, occasionally, but it's not going to be something that drives my decisions. -sv
