Well I do it while logged into KDE, and without stopping any services. YMMV If you are worried then do a backup before proceeding. Note: If there is a preexisting config file in /etc which conflicts with the config file from a new package the old config file will be left in place and the new one will be suffixed .rpmnew You should review these files after install is complete to see if there is anything new which needs configuring. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
