In other words: the guests still have to be shut down for every software update in that method. Unlike what normally happens in an rpm -Uv . Another issue: rpms may have certain pre/post-[un]install script that deal with the data in /etc or in /var . Frankly they may want to do some strange thing with files in /usr , though I can't think of a specific example. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+
