HI Peter, I think your problem is Yum. According to the Fedora Core 6 release notes, Fedora core 6 has an nee and improved update method and daemon. If this is the case then Yum will lock the package update repository and prevent you from using the package updater. If the problem is yum then you need to stop / remove the daemon. This stops the yum daemon su -l -c 'service yum-updatesd stop This will remove the yum daemon su -c 'yum remove yum-updatesd' if Yum isn't your issue please re-post and we shall try something else :) daN -- _____________________________________________________________ " They that can give up liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
