There is however a method now for finding obsolete packages... yum -y install yum-utils package-cleanup --orphans This information is indeed documented on the Fedora Project Wiki (kudos to them for making this valuable info available)... http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq People who want to help others should be familiar with this page Craig
