As I also said in my reply to your essentially identical post, I used -Fvh. Bad choice of the word "update" on my part. I was using it descriptively, not as the name of a mode of operation of the rpm program. I have been using -Fvh for all of the kernel "updates" to rh9, and never had this happen before. -- -------- "And there came a writing to him from Elijah" [2Ch 21:12] -------- R. J.
