However, it initially performs some sanity checks, such as making sure all installed RPMS pass dependency checks, and will not continue if this fails.. but I've got a few RPMS (such as glibc, which requires the kernel-headers RPMS, but I build my own kernel from sources) that I purposely installed even though they fail dependency checks.. .so, my question is, is there a way to bypass this check (a force option or somesuch)? And if not, if anyone from the YD team is here, please make this an option. But, as a side note, I'm ecstatic that this sort of app is finally out.. I was just about to suck down the Debian install CDs, if for nothing other than it's automatic package updater.. -j ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
