# rpm -i --replacepkgs <rpm-file> is possibly safer in "some" scenarios. Depending on what you are removing and how, you might break something bad by ripping it out, then trying to get it back in after the system is a in a compromised state. This might be safer in those small percentage of cases. Something to think about... jlc _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
