The system started up and appears to be FC5 but of course, I know that there are a significant number of un-updated packages. I checked the yum repositories and they seem to be right so I ran yum update. After a fairly lengthy time of going through all the packages that were to updated, if finally died after complaining that three packages required older versions of things that were to be updated. These were iiimf-qt, iiimf-le-sum-thai, and lvm2-cluster. I guessed that I could do without those so I "yum removed" them. That went fine. Now, a yum update goes through, finds 981 packages to update and runs the transaction test. Unfortunately, it ends with an error: memory alloc (4 bytes) returned NULL Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Henry
