I tend to try to upgrade (-U flag) to the newer version. An RPM upgrade will upgrade to the new version, rather than install a second version when you use the -i flag. (If you pass --oldpackage to rpm, you can even "upgrade" to an older version of a package, handy if you've grabbed something unstable from rawhide and want to downgrade). If you successfully upgrade to a newer version and you didn't force the upgrade, you've got a pretty good chance that the installation is fine. -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
