Yep, download the set of RPMs from a previous version-release into a directory alone and do: rpm -Uvh --oldpackage XFree86*.i386.rpm Keep in mind that no testing is done on downgrading of packages, so it is possible that a downgrade could fail or have problems if something goes awry. That said, it generally works ok most of the time, and I try to keep it that way. Problems that do arise, generally aren't to difficult to fix up. -- Mike A.
