No answers, but can you tell me why you're re-installing? Doing a regular yum update will bring a 5.3 system to a 5.4 system. That worked, thanks ! I am using Smart and once I changed the Smart channels to point to 5.4 instead of 5.3, Smart got the latest updates, installed them, and now I am a 5.4 user. I guess if I was using Software Update it would have automatically picked up the changes, but I find Smart a much easier and more informative program to use. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It is also much less informative than Smart in showing one what is happening when individual packages are being updated. Fianlly it is pathetic how bare and user-unfriendly the GUI interface is. But each to their own. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
