If you want to actually use the system for anything, forcing packages is the completely wrong way to do it. Forcing packages will just lead to a broken system. I would look into setting up a local yum repo from your CDs, that way you can use yum to solve the depenencies for you. After you get the network working you can use yum or up2date to update the system. http://www.linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/ http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/General/yum_HOWTO/yum_HOWTO/ -- William Hooper -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
