Usually a _very_ bad idea. --force is useful if you're installing an rpm over an rpm of the same version because you screwed it up. --nodeps is useful if you're completely confident that all deps are met, and it's only a packaging problem. Both switches together is most often a receipe for disaster. As always, anything you do as root, and it's repercussions, are your own fault. As is software choice. There's almost always very good reasons that deps and conflicts are reported when tryin to install some packages, specially if you've tainted your system http://www.tux.org/lkml/#export-tainted -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas
