It's the same end result, but yum is a lot easier if you know only the package names (and not specific URLs and/or versions of packages). (And it may not be the same end result if you don't get the versions correct.) I also read this snippet from man yum: reinstall Will reinstall the identically versioned package as is currently installed. This does not work for "installonly" packages, like Kernels. So maybe yum reinstall wouldn't fully fix the OP's problem after all? --keith -- kkeller at wombat.san-francisco.ca.us -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
