I upgraded via yum on a previously cleanly installed 4.2 and hhave had no issues. No dupliicate rpms. Has anyone had problems? I suppose had this been a 4 -> 4.1 -> 4.2 -> 4.3 this would be different. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

It is much more sane to update via yum than to download the latest set of iso images and use anaconda to update, without considering the waste of time, downtime and cd media. Craig

Then new ISO''s are spun at this point to shorten fresh install times, and to incorporate fixes or drivers into the install media. 4 updated to 4.3 is functionally equivalent to a fresh install of 4.3. -- MailScanner is like deodorant...

They have all taken the .x updates flawlessly. That''s the way Johnny and the gang intend it to work. This is something that so many people seem to be confused about. The 0.x "updates" are little more then re-spinning the ISOs to contain the package updates released to date. -Andrew
