It looks like under Centos4 I can: yum install nx-0-1.4.0-4.1.centos4 even though nx-0-1.5.0-0.centos4 is also in the repository and would be the default for 'yum install nx'. But under Centos3.5 I can't do the equivalent yum install gaim-1-1.3.1-0.el3 or even specify the latest gaim-1-1.3.1-0.el3.3 Is that a new feature or am I doing something wrong? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
