The reason for minor releases is to fix substantial problems. Nobody bothered packaging 7.3.2 for RH9.0 because by the time RH9.0 was available, 7.3.3 or 7.3.4 were available, and there was therefore no point in packaging a version KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE when there was a version available KNOWN TO ADDRESS THOSE DEFECTS. Unless you specifically want to live with the defects remedied in 7.3.3 and 7.3.4, then you should upgrade to 7.3.4. It actually appears likely, based on recent discussions, that there will be a 7.3.5; there might be merit in going to that. -- let name="cbbrowne" and tld="acm.org" in name ^ "@" ^ tld;; http://www3.sympatico.ca/cbbrowne/lsf.html "If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a dog and a man." -- Mark Twain ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
