Now, you do run into problems sometimes when you use non-RedHat repos. This is especially true when they do not have the modules built yet for the latest kernel update. (That is why there are yum plugins that make sure the modules are available before offering the kernel update.) The other thing you sometimes run into is mirrors that are not up to date. I have run into times when the mirror does not have an RPM that the meta-data says it does... Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
