None of the tragedy has happened here. Also in this case, the dependancies were against files that I do have installed. Both are in rpm-4.0.2-8 as noted. Sorry you had such bad results, ands would offer advice except I can't think of what might be the problem. So far, the worst that happened here is that only *.hdr files were downloaded. No rpms. And I'm sure several are due to update. Apparently the `dependancy' error derailed any futher fetching of rpms. About fdisk and restart: I can't imagine that it would take a full reinstall to fix things. Have you tried running fsck with no trick flags? Just boot to runlevel 1 and run `fsck' against suspect partitions? I'm not sure how you get to run level one using `grub'. I've never used it yet. If you are using lilo then at the Lilo prompt type linux 1 <ENTER> If you've named it something then: NAME 1 <ENTER> Will get you to runlevel one (Maintainence mode) _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
