Problem is, everything covered only by the extra CD(s) would break during upgrade using only the standard CDs, would have to cross all appendages etc and hope that the rpm -F actually fixed up the damage. I'm not sure what an upgrade actually does with an existing RPM database, just works with it as-is or uses it as a package list and then discards it. Cheers; Leon
