So control-center is still installed. Should I just rpm -e
control-center-* and then rpm -i control-center-*, or do I need to do
something else? Will I need the Fedora install CDs(which one?), or will
the rpm file still be available on my hard drive to install when I
uninstall it?
You have to locate the control-center-2.6.1-3.i386.rpm file in the
installation cd's and copy it to somewhere at hand (i.e. /var/tmp)
then, as root, you can issue
# rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs /var/tmp/control-center-2.6.1-3.i386.rpm
No need to uninstall (rpm -e ...)

That works, except by the K.I.S.S principle, why copy it? It can be
done directly from the CD. Less work and no cleanup afterward.
Well, I did rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs
/mnt/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS/control-center-*.rpm and it installed the rpm
with no error messages, so I'll see what ir does when I log in as root
next time...
