In addition to Carl's general suggestions on using "rpm," you should be aware that you don't have to install in (reverse) dependency (partial) order. You can simply supply all the RPM files to a single install or upgrade invocation of the rpm command. As far as what you know when rpm completes without diagnostics, it's really down to how carefully the packager determined the dependencies. If any were omitted, rpm will succeed but the software may not run, either at all or under certain circumstances. Naturally, the larger and more complex the package, the easier it is to make a mistake and the more room there is for sporadic or partial failures. > ... > > -- > MikeF > Houston, TX Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
