Am I doing something wrong here? > Oops, I forgot. rpm checks the rpm database for conflicts, not the file system. there is an option to override such checks, --force if I remember correctly--I'll check the man page. --force should work or use --replacefiles which is one of 3 things that --force includes. See the man page for all the gory details. Lots of options. Try again using: rpm -ivh --force AdobeReader_enu-7.0.0-1.i386.rpm or you could remove your old version first. -- Paul Almquist paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Eau Claire, WI USA
