The only problem, here, is that CentOS is behind the curve. Either use a repo that tracks CentOS or wait until CentOS releases 5.5. My recommendation: don't have the other repositories enabled by default so your "yum update" only updates core components, and then you can check against the 3rd party repos at with with the --enablerepo option. -- rgds Stephen
