They currently have a package I need but offer multiple versions. However, if I simply 'yum install packagename' it defaults to pulling down the most recent package. I would like to pull down the older version of the package but I'm unable to do so. > > So, how would you specify version number for a package with two candidates but the same name? I'm at a loss... :-( > I think you have to specify version. In the example; bind-chroot-9.3.4-6.0.1.P1.el5_2.i386.rpm bind-chroot-9.3.4-6.0.2.P1.el5_2.i386.rpm I think you would specify yum install bind-chroot-9.3.4-6.0.1.P1 but a later update will upgrade it anyway. If there software doesn't work with the newer version, it shouldn't be in their repo, IMHO. -- MailScanner is like deodorant...
