"You may perhaps have specific hardware that does need centosplus" I can only claim sheep like ignorance here as I was following the wiki at mythtv and had never tried it any other way. Will try without centosplus as it does seem to bring some 'special' problems to the table <grin>. Yes the kmod thing was my failing, near 55 year old memory getting in the way again. It was indeed kmdl for the nvidia packages that I was dealing with. OK, now off to the failing qt dependencies that I see someone else has beat me to the punch on with a previous post. Interested in seeing how that comes out. thanks for you help don _______________________________________________ atrpms-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-users
