Hi Additional note: i ran the uninstall rpmdrake feature to see if the files were installed. The four just installed were listed but not the first 2. I need a way to (re)install these. Rpm drake doesn't see them as needing to be installed. I tried the rpm --nodeps unsuccesfully so i know I am missing something here with this process. I don't know anymore, but it seems a reinstall using the information that i have to date may be appropriate. The only problem is the update with a dialup connection takes a longtime. Thanks john
