Which is what I'm doing, using yum to upgrade 5 or 6 packages at a time. One thing its refusing to do is to update iptables. This box has always had a custom kernel on it, currently running a pretty old 2.4.23 something or other with Con Kovolas 'ck6' patchset applied. I'm not alergic to building a newer kernel, but how do I go about telling yum that the kernel installed is compatible, or even better, than the one its looking for? Thanks for all the replies, I appreciate them. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
