Hello Cliff, > When we're ready to begin QA, I > grab all of the latest appropriate RPMs for our environment via up2date on > RHN and store them in a central repository. If all updates are available in one directory (please move the kernel rpms elsewhere) you do not need the --nodeps option. An "rpm -Fv *.rpm" suffices. Again, move out the kernel rpms if you do not want to overwrite your existing kernel before proceeding. Bye, Leonard. -- mount -t life -o ro /dev/dna /genetic/research
