Just reread your message. I was still having problems with the 2.0 centos version coming back even though I'd removed it. I tried Ross' suggesting, it removed things successfully (for both 2.0.whatever and 2.4.1.) But the new 2.4.1 won't install because "package jre-1.6.0_04-fcs is already installed". Grrr. I'm tempted to keep the 2.3 version that comes with the 5.2 upgrade, I didn't notice any difference between 2.3 and 2.4, and I won't have to constantly upgrade every time there's a "latest & greatest" OO.o ... (Seems that's why I like CentOS to begin with!) On Tue, 2008-06-24 at 08:43 -0500, Johnny Hughes wrote: > Donald Buchan wrote: > > I did a yum update last night at about 23h15 EDT (-4).
