in my humble experience, the only *workable* upgrade to a redhat from a previous version to another is as follows:
1) backup your data 2) erase the existing installation 3) freshly install the new version. 4) plug your data files back. anything else will take you so much time to resolve, that by the time you do, it is time for the next version's update. the above is true if you wish to do a major version upgrade, say from RH8 to RH9, or even from RH7.2 to RH7.3 small upgrades of a couple of files, utilities, etc, via rpm installations, is quite okay, provided you do your dep checks and don't do dirty installs of software. :-) LL _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
