Your description of why those two are > the ones I may try disabling, was the most easily understandable > informative reply. I've seen in a long time. Thank you! Well I still think your right but... It seams I've already tried to disable yum-updatesd... I've unchecked it in the System>admin>Services dialog And when I click on stop it says it's stopped. But next reboot/startx and it's running again, letting it notify something to give me that danged pop-up message. Now puplet is another matter. I can't find anything that looks like it in the list of services in System>admin>Services. But if I click on view updates in that annoying pop-up message I get to give my root password because of attempting to run "pup" which then wants me to insert the fedora 8 install disk.... (cancel) /usr/bin pup is a link pointing to an elf binary named consolehelper. And /usr/bin/puplet is a complex script that I can't quite follow. yum remove consolehelper yum remove pup yum remove puplet All fail to find matches to remove... {sigh} Hmmmmnnn maybe if I edit puplet to comment out the whole script and insert one executable line: echo "what, run puplet? haha hahaha!" And remove all the yum-updatesd links from /etc/rc.d/rc*.d. That seams to work for now... But probably the next yum update will re-install working copies... {sigh} Any suggestions? ############################################################# ##_if_you'd_prefer_an_clearsigned_".asc"_text_file_of_this_## ##message_as_an_mime_encoded_attachment,just_ask_me_while__## ##it's_STILL_IN_my_outbox_folder_._._._=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+;-)_## #gpg sig for: Joe (theWordy) Philbrook DSA key ID 0x6C2163DE# # You can find my public gpg key at http://pgpkeys.mit.edu/ # ############################################################# -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHrFr3RZ/61mwhY94RAvJDAJ9uChEqwWNLswpqd20IWkmsp3ZQGACgkBnN Ok+7LijCEvTHRNFpL3idEyc= =h7Wy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- | ? ? | | -=- -=- I'm NOT clueless... | <?> <?> But I just don't know. | ^ Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | --- J(tWdy)P | <jtwdyp@xxxxxxxx> | ? ?
