RPM will happily allow you to install two versions of the same package side-by-side, provided that there are no file conflicts. For example: $ rpm -q kernel kernel-2.4.7-10 kernel-2.4.9-21 kernel-2.4.9-31 This will, of course, generally require planning on the part of the packager -- binaries can't be named something like "perl", instead they need to be named something like "perl561", with postinstall scripts that take of creating an appropriate symlink. -- Lars ______________________________________________________________________ The OpenPKG Project www.openpkg.org User Communication List [EMAIL PROTECTED]
