Yes RPM is part of the devel RPMS tarball. What confused me was it was NOT part of the ISO. So it seeems by default that rpm is not installed on a new 2.1 installation. I assume smart has no dependency on rpm? Obviously I'm just dealing in theory here since I have not sat down and installed a fresh 2.1, I still have to figure out how to safely get from 2.0 to 2.1 since I do not have directly access to the production box [unless I want to drive 20miles which I do not ;)] -Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
