What gave you the idea you could do a yum update in the rescue environment. I know others have reported errors in the update of kernels when you install everything that is somehow system dependent because I have installed everything on several systems and never had any update problems. I have installed FC4 on at least 4 machines with very different architectures and never had the problems you report. I am afraid it is a question of it is nigh impossible to have a distribution that will work on every type of hardware 32 but and 64 bit. I manage about 50 fedora machines without much problem and updates work more or less without problems. The fact that FC4 has been out for 5 months or so and only recently your problems have been reported indicates to me that things are more ok then you make them out to be. ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University telephone: (210)-999-7484
