This might seem extreme, but you could try to boot with a rescue disc (like the install CD), mount your relevant partition, chroot and then try updating/replacing the rpm package. I'd wait to hear what anyone else on this list thinks before trying this. Definately you should run rpm with the --test and the -vv (double-verbose) option before doing it for real. That's just a brainstorming idea. Another would be to reinstall rpm from source (not source rpms, but source files). I'm interested to see how this turns out. j --- s <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > I was trying to make my gatway a little more secure when I moved the rpm > executable from /bin/ onto a floppy with plans on moving it back and forth as > > needed.
