Huh, I always use a terminal window to do my yum stuff command line. Smart doesn't seem to care at all, and it'll show you what it sees from the last time you update the metadata files and dnload them without a burp. It'll work just fine, but you don't see the files now included since the last time you updated your channels. Somewhere between yum with presto and smart would be the perfect app. Ric -- ================================================ My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity.
