I think what he's saying is you select some stuff to install, it downloads it, then before it installs any of it there's some error (file conflict! Please detect this earlier or let user force install, or skip that package, or something!!!) and it doesn't install anything, but then it goes and deletes all of those RPMs it just downloaded (ugh!). __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
