If that doesn't work I guess try the packages that are required by yum: [wayne@FC2-Work wayne]$ rpm -qR yum /bin/bash /bin/sh /bin/sh /bin/sh /sbin/chkconfig /sbin/service /usr/bin/python config(yum) = 2.0.7-1.1 libxml2-python python rpm-python >= 4.1.1 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 I would probably start with rpm-python and python. I've never done this, so I'm not sure what else is dependent on these packages. Be careful. Wayne Steenburg
