But to trust my system to yum upgrade? Ah Heyal Nah, as they say in Texas. It's the weird seemingly untraceable crap that will make your head spin around for a long time. If you can't find it, it's a reasonable assumption that none of us can remote-view the problem with much success either. For that reason, I'd never suggest an upgrade. With ten thousand some odd files, there is no telling which is borked. :) But, it's worth a shot if you have the medium right there at hand as you do. Otherwise, it's a crap shoot. :) Ric --
