Actually, I never tried the wildcard, but I don't think so. "rpm -e NVIDIA_kernel NVIDIA_GLX" should work. I'm pretty sure you can rpm -U the kernel, but the GLX one needs to be rpm -e. It moves some installed files out of the way, and if you update, it will overwrite the ones it backed up. > On Tue, 2002-12-24 at 03:24, Matthew Saltzman wrote: > > On 23 Dec 2002, greg wrote: > > > > > hi, > > > just downloaded the new Red Hat kernel.
