I take that in. But I still have some doubt. Suppose I yum-install A, and it brings in A,B and C. If I yum-remove A, is it guaranteed that it will only remove A,B and C? As I mentioned, at some point in the fairly recent past, I tried this, and yum wanted to remove more than A,B and C. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
