There are no updates for 5.3 anymore. And 5.4=5 at the moment. Read the FAQs, basic CentOS stuff: http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=34 It would readability if you could stop quoting all the URL garbage again and again. Thanks.

Anyway, I was not asking "Am I wrong"> > It would readability if you could stop quoting all the URL garbage again and > again. Thanks.I know that and i am very sorry. Sometimes I act to quick and forget to snippel away unwanted stuff. From time to time this happened and it will happen again I fear, i am not programmed and no machine. Sorry again. - -- bests regards, markus -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkr3SDgACgkQYoWFBIJE9eWXGwCgtZe253+mrmIhnYDZEvDcyajg IU4AoK2hJFvZGC6gWL4Vbv4mDGr1AwWB =fBiK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Then I can work around it. I dont have to use mirrorlist. I could use http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5.4/ or some other mirror, but why hardcode when theres a mirrorlist system ? - -- bests regards, markus -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkr3SioACgkQYoWFBIJE9eVQgQCfZqPUrgtMM1kPE9JJqL8YzJVQ qtwAnjFPiI+OryJTx0EJbJ6kYrEr0/z0 =NfFL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Whats the consequence ? Update to 5.4 and some things are not working any more -> 5.4 != 5.3 Maybe my fault is that i associate this bugs with the release update and not with a single package like glibc. On the other side, I read about this bug at the Release Notes for CentOS 5.4 not at an announcement for a new glibc (maybe i have overseen it ?) In principle, every single update could break things, I know that. Another example: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3923 This one broke kickstart installs for me. again: 5.4 != 5.3>> I have machines with 5.3 and machines with 5.4 and therefore I need a >> local mirror for 5.3 > > Why do you think did I post it? Read it! > http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=34I did. I swear it. Thank you. My original question is answered, of course. Anyway, despite of any disagreements, thank you for taking the time and for your patience. - -- best regards, markus -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkr4T84ACgkQYoWFBIJE9eXmBwCfayrYgb43fqcdw0VpitRo6F4V hhQAoJ2DZF7kVMe0sFeXRGUvq8zYo47X =mGMB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I read the advice. I looked at the URLs pointed to. Maybe i am too dumb, but i still consider 5 ! 5.4 My feeling is that your point is: 5.X is bad. 5 is stable, therefore use 5. My experience with 5.4 was two bugs, #3884 and #3923, and both of them triggered disfunctionality at update time, so i can not use 5 for stabilities sake.
