Well that is the issue, how do I find out if they are needed. Using KSH as an example, just removing the pdksh RPM would be is an issue since I'm a user of ksh. I did find the new RHEL-5 KSH RPM, ksh-20060214-1.7.x86_64, so I was able to removed the RHEL-4 RPM and installed the new RPM. > Here's a link to a Redhat KB article that touches on it: > http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_103_10686.shtm On reviewing the URL given, it indicates to run the yum list extra command.
