And everyone involved with this release! I followed the instructions (including removing the two packages, lam and I forget what other one it was now, and updating glibc first), and the update was completely painless. And, with that yum "fastest repo" add-on thingy, wow! I had 2 megaBYTE/sec downloads of the updates to my 6 boxes. Everything was updated in an hour, and I was good to go, and all appears well. You know, I've had more update packages with Fedora 8 after not updating for five days than with this update! I'm guessing 5.2 packages that didn't get updated are par for the course: they still work fine, so they don't get updated (I'm new to this, obviously), or get their file extensions changed when you do an rpm -q (package). Karanbir, you and the entire production/development/testing team, and those upstream, get a "bravo" from me! Centos 5.3 i386...I'm lovin' it. ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** (My opinions only!) ****** *******************************************************************************
