I have had such a problem getting up2date to work I've downloaded the update directory from a mirror onto my local machine. What rpm options do I use to upgrade the packages? Better ask before I screw something up. Any help will be greatly appreicated. Mike This message is private and contains confidential information intended only for the use of the recipient(s).
