Thanks, Chris & Alistair. I guess I still have all five. :-) I've done a lot of work to mirror several repos locally to minimize the WAN traffic for a half dozen Fedora desktops and laptops. I altered the .repo files on those systems to point to the local mirrors. When I saw RHEL5.5 was out I pulled down the new redhat-release rpm and installed it thinking the next yum update would trigger the big update. It didn't, and I got worried that I might have accidentally deleted a key .repo file on my RHEL server. I'll sure be glad when RHEL6 comes out and there's no longer such a huge gulf between my server and my Fedora systems. --Doc _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
