If I understand the comments correctly, this file is just telling urpmi that if you go to install any of the listed packages, it will know to *install* and not merely *upgrade* (ie. replace). This is the case with kernel packages, since you would be a madman to replace your existing kernel without testing the new one first. -- JoeHill ++ ICQ # 280779813 Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "The free communication of ideas and opinions is one of the most precious of the rights of man."-- Declaration of the Rights of Man
