The dependencies are there for a reason. If the kernel requires newer modutils, and you're not installing them, you break the dependency, and rpm would not allow that. You are root, and free to possibly shoot yourself in the foot using --nodeps, of course. But if you know of a package that should satisfy that requirement (e.g: the newer modutils) add it to the same 'rpm -U' command, or install it beforehand. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir
