To update a collection of RPMs, try AutoUpdate. AutoUpdate is a perl(1) script that can download new rpms from given remote sites and then pass them to rpm(8) to upgrade your system. There are five independent modes, download, get, update/install, merge, and purge. The mode will be determined by the invocation name and or command line options. I've used it for RH 8.0 and found it quite useful. I don't know that it will update any installation/configuration files. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
