Thanks. In excuse, I assumed that "man yum.conf" deals solely with yum.conf . I should have thought description of the format of *.repo files would come under "man yum" - or there should at least be a pointer there to the location of such a description. A good "yum FAQ" would be useful - advising on the steps to take if yum fails, for various reasons (dependency conflicts, etc). -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
