I tried what you suggested. the X11 path was in the conf file, but I reran it anyway and failed to get my icons back. Looking around further, I see various groups of updates in the up2date log never got installed but now even the old versions are missing from the rpm database. I tried rebuilding the database, but no help. None of the XFree updates made it; the arts package did not, but the next one, aspell did. Mozilla is gone from the db and from the machine. Same with pango -- at least I got an error message when trying to install firefox on that box about bad image file formats and a suggestion to install pango. Would it make sense to try to force the XFree and other stuff from the RH cd, and then rerun up2date? --- "Schott, Erik J Mr ANOSC/FCBS" <erik.schott-FCBS@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Barry.
