Well.. I discovered WHY I had a problem. I Yum installed inside the Fedora Rescue environment which did a very weird installation that rendered it impossible to remove these and many other installations that used scriptlets (%preun, %postun etc). That is why I had to start over from scratch and Yum install in a level 3 boot. See previous posting that explains it.

I have regularly done 'everything' installs, as well. I now remember having this issue as well, but, removing the GFP-kernel, gnbd-kernel, and cman-1.0 was no problem, for me. I'm not sure why you had a problem. That, just to let you know that at least me, it did work. -- Claude Jones Bluemont, VA, USA -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list -- No virus found in this incoming message.
