There is no conflict .... at least not a version conflict. I do CD/DVD, http and NFS kick starts all the time. ------------------------------------------ [johnny at myth ~]$ rpm -q --requires hotplug | grep initscripts initscripts >= 7.93.14.EL The above clearly says >= ... 7.93.25.EL is >= 7.93.14.EL, so that dependency is met. Not sure why your hotplug is set to "initscripts = 7.93.14.EL", or at least why it is being interpreted that way by whatever process you are trying to use. ------------------------------------------ Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
