I think it consensus that it should work the way you are doing it. I would try three things: 1) rpm -V ppp 2) the before mentioned erase of "conflicting packages" (reinstall ppp and friends is not such a hassle), install kernel, and reinstall 3) rebuild the rpm database. Maybe something there got corrupted. Cheers, Michael -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
