Hi > On the other hand, I'm pretty sure I have seen examples of yum commands > posted which included unescaped *'s. > I guess the posters assumed the reader knew that esapement was required ... this escaping wouldnt be required in cases where the current directory doesnt have similar filenames to what you trying to provide to yum so the posters themselves may not have been aware of this potential "glitch" since they never faced it -- Regards, Rahul Sundaram
