My first 'update world' seems to have complete sucessfully, having overcome the mozilla sensitifity to environment settings and the mysterious file size discrepency of my RealPlayer-10.0.3.748-20050223.i586.rpm file...
That just left the protected directory file updates, all of which seemed straight forward except for an update that was provided for /etc/modules.d/alsa as follows: diff alsa ._cfg0000_alsa 17d16 < alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 21d19 < alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 It looks to me like that would just remove my customization for the local hardware, which I would expect would have stopped my sound card from working.... Or has there been some change that makes that configuration information obsolete? Is it safe/wise to decide to discard one of the update files like this? Regards, DigbyT -- Digby R. S.
