"| sort | uniq -u" will print lines which appear only once. Assuming that all the files listed in the RPM database should also appear in the filesystem this will be the list you want. If not then give this output another run and check for their existanc - if they exists then they are from the filesystem, otherwise from the RPM database. Expect differences also in /dev, and don't be surprised if /etc and /var are different too. --Amos ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
