Do file an RFE against yum and company to do reget type things if the file is 'short'. I have lost count of the number of times yum and up2date time out and the local chunk fails the checksum test. Then a new download is started. Fixing this could help the load on mirrors and should be done... For now use. Wget - The non-interactive network downloader. If the server supports regetting, it will instruct the server to continue the download from where it left off. -- T o m M i t c h e l l Just say no to 74LS73 in 2004
