If I can make a better suggestion? Instead of uninstalling those updates, you have two choices. Turn off checking in the preferences of the applets. (But then again, users could re-enable it at this point.) Remove all repositories from the boxes, and create a single internal repository in your company. Any critical updates that need to get out to the users would be saved to this repository by you, the administrator. That way, users aren't a) getting unapproved/untested updates, b) users ARE getting updates that you deem a must c) they're not getting all the dependency errors and stuff that you mentioned. Remember, only you as an administrator can modify repository listings on the box anyway, so your users aren't able to fiddle around with this. This way, you have some level of control still, when you go to a user's workstation, and decide you need to do a check of updates. (Although, you have CLI options available, you could still want the applet for say a help-desk support person who doesn't have CLI abilities.) In my opinion, that's a more elegant solution than ripping out the updater altogether. No matter what operating system you're using, you should always set os updates to point to an internal server rather than an external server. -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
