Thanks for your answers. > ATrpms will replace several base RPMS ... as to whether or not that is what you want, that is up to you. I am normally very careful what RPMS I add to my system that are external to the CentOS repos. I do use Dag's repo (usually with a "includepkgs=" set so that I only update packages that I know about). I am very careful though, and other people have use Dag, Dries and ATrpms without problems ... so maybe I am just a little bit too cautious. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
