You were talking about upgrades, and now about fresh install. Correct me if I'm wrong, but what redhat/fedora does when you upgrade a system is not a $list=select rpms rpm -u --force $list or something like this? I've been upgrading redhat systems since forever and they behave just like that (with the inconvenient of screwing stuff at /etc and renaming my configs as file.rpmsave) -- [] Alexandre Strube [EMAIL PROTECTED]
