OK, thanks for that! Methinks my no doubt Very Dumb Question now becomes : So how do I check what version of the OS I'm actually running? (Among other things, I've actually had much poorer luck with yum under YDL than under Fedora -- so I do *not* take it for granted that my nightly yum update will have actually succeeded; and this seems a good way to test it.) -- Beartooth Neo-Redneck, Linux Evangelist FC 1-3, YDL 4; Pine 4.63, Pan 0.14.2; Privoxy 3.0.3; Dillo 0.8.4, Opera 8.0, Firefox 1.0.3, Epiphany 1.0.4 Remember that I have little idea what I am talking about. _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com'
