In the past I've always found that my centos/RHEL machines automagically updated themselves to the latest dot-release without me having to do anything other than run yum/up2date. Are you saying here that a Centos 5 system WILL NOT automatically become 5.1 when the updates are pushed out? Or am I just totally confuzzled? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .---- Fred Smith / ( /__ ,__. __ __ / __ : / / / / /__) / / /__) .+' Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / / (__ (___ (__(_ (___ / :__ 781-438-5471 -------------------------------- Jude 1:24,25 ---------------------------------
