Ric > So do I. Its enough faster than yum to impress me, and it seems to handle dependencies a bit better. AND, it has yet to trash the ___db* files for me. Something yum seems to do about every 3rd time I run it via the yumex gui. Unforch, finding out how to add a new pull source such as remi's is about like asking questions about hens teeth, very little info on the subject seems to be extant. It seems to me there should be a noarch package that self installs the repo files, like there is from several of the out of tree yum repo's. It would certainly be usefull. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
