I'm no yum expert, but I would have thought "yum update" would just look at the packages listed in /var/log/rpmpkgs , but would not check if these packages were actually present. So I don't see that this would help you in your predicament. But I'd be glad to be contradicted. If I had been in your position, I would have tried upgrading to Fedora-3. I imagine virtually all the packages would have been updated. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
