Re: Re: upgrading RPM query

Thanks for that Alan,

However, as the box I was putting it onto is a new one, I am making an effort
to stick to RPM's this time, as much as an academic exerciser as anything
else.

I actually found it quite easy to download the SRPM and build all the binary
RPMs from it. It also means that if I set up any more RH71 boxes, I can
simply use these RPM's
