Hi Mike, As Patrick suggested, 'rpm --help' will give you a quick snaphot/refresher of the most frequently used options. You might consider the procedure I use: - copy the new rpms into an empty working directory and cd into it - su + password to gain the appropriate permissions - rpm -Uhv *.rpm --test "U" will upgrade earlier versions (if they exist) or just install "h" gives you hash mark progress bars with percentage completion "v" is, of course, verbose mode (feedback) "--test" does a 'dry run'. Nothing is actually written to disk and it advises you of any conflicts or missing dependencies. When you finally get the 'mix' right, drop the "--test" and install. And don't forget to run 'ldconfig' and 'SuSEconfig' afterwards. hth & regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
