No. I can think of another thing, more disruptable than --nodeps (although less than rm -rf of course); to reboot, choose upgrade from the boot disc and let redhat scriptorama do it. I always backup before. Doing that for 2 years now with no major problems. Of course I'm not convinced I do the right thing... -- Jose Celestino | http://xpto.org/~japc/files/japc-pgpkey.asc ---------------------------------------------------------------- "Don't summarize.
