This program has a limitation in that it only knows about the packages on the original CDs. As you do the normal updates, r-c-p's idea of reality and what you have installed gets further out of sync. As others have suggested: Installing everything isn't a good starting point Yum is a more reliable after packages have been upgraded from their original version. -- William Hooper
