Update, yum dumped out, complaining that kdegraphics-lib was needed by kdegraphics-extras-7.3.5.10.fc8.i386, and when I tell it to install it anyway, returns the same error. removed it, took nearly 2 minutes! I suspect the cpu is running at powersave speed, I haven't heard the fan in ages. But now the rest of the update is errored out, first bitch is about curl, but it looks like index.bz2 is contaminated. If I remove it, it takes about 40 pieces of kde with it. Yum clean all, wash rinse repeat, can somebody bring me a beer? Now its going to grab about 100 drpms. First time I've actually seen that work. Hope it does. But I'm still puzzled, confused and wandering around in a fog. Surely rawhide didn't get 120 new packages in the last 2 hours???? Explanations welcomed. And I still need that beer. :) And that didn't work. How can I force yum to overwrite /usr/share/man/man1/curl.1.gz from the fc8 install with the f11_x64 version? Its also bitching about all the x86_64 stuff conflicting with the i586 stuff from kde-4.2.3. Is there a force option for yum now? Not according to the man page, crap... Burning F10 dvd if I can get my drive to recognize it has a dvd-r blank disk in it. Yup, recognized the 2nd disk, so its off to the races. Why the hell did I even think about pulling that lappy out and putting it to use? ATM, I can't think of a reason that justifies all this hell. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
