For what it's worth, yesterday I upgraded my main machine to SL4.2 (from 3.0.4). I enabled dag and dries, and yum update produced an conflict and refused to update anything. (Sorry, I neglected to note the error. Something to do with Java, I believe.) I disabled dag and dries, and the next update worked fine. -- Richard S Holmes <[log in to unmask]> Syracuse University physics department
