Amos, thanks this seems to be what I need to try: yum.conf ---------- [main] options exclude list of packages to exclude from updates or installs. This should be a space separated list. Filename globs *,?,., etc are allowed according to yum log, this is what I had/now have installed: # grep rrd yum.log Sep 16 22:30:37 Installed: rrdtool-1.2.27-3.el5.i386 Sep 16 12:21:39 Installed: perl-rrdtool-1.4.4-1.el5.rf.i386 Sep 16 12:21:41 Updated: rrdtool-1.4.4-1.el5.rf.i386 I've now found rrdtool-1.2.29-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm so, I should 'rpm -e' rrdtool* and perl-rrd* followed by 'rpm -i' of the rrdtool-1.2.29-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm, yes ? (I tried copying the binaries, and, installing from source, neither gave desired results: attempting to compile source complained about somestuff missing, when I attempted to install the complained-about-item, it complained about something else; it was at that point that I've decide that 30 seconds to generate a web page isn't really such a big deal) copying binaries was a little more successful: no errors. but, no graphs generated, either. -- Voytek -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
