I have never experienced any problems with mixing "rpm" and "yum". Yum is just a dependency checking/resolving front end for rpm. If you attempt to do something with rpm that has dependency problems, it just fails, reports the issue, but it doesn't cause corruption. The only time that using rpm could potentially be a problem is if you did a force install/removal which breaks some dependency. Kenneth
