Thanks for the ideas, in an inspired moment of clarity I fixed the issue up. So for any other poor schlub who happens to run into this issue (why was it only me?) whereby when booting from a rescue disk and attempting to do a yum downgrade, you get a Unable to load yummain error, here is how I fixed it: mount -o bind /mnt/sysimage/usr/share/ /usr/share/ I think all this really boiled down to was a path search issue, but hey what do I know. Either way the above worked for me. -Erinn -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
