It means that anyone who chooses not to apply all updates 'just because they're there' (and there are many who won't) then will be in the situation many found themselves in wrt RHL 3.0.3 - Can't apply the latest upgrades, can't find any way way to upgrade new packages of rpm because the release version of rpm can't read the packages. -- Cheers John Summerfield http://www2.ami.com.au/ for OS/2 & linux information.
