Hi Frank, I would agree with you. However, I guess (with my suggestion) I am assuming (oh boy) that the deleted cpp package would be getting replaced, wouldn't it? I just checked the output of the 'rpm -q --requires gcc' command, and it listed the cpp package. I don't want people nuking their systems on my account. I also did a test of 'yum remove cpp', and noticed the who;e raft of things that would get removed along with it (including a whole slew of xorg driver packages? WTF?). Later, -David Chipman
