It was convenience to use a 9.1-rc3 a DVD. I got an error saying there were no repositories for non releases. Perfectly understandable, so I updated to 9.1-rel and all is well. That prompted two questions: first, is there a way to have forced the use of a 9.1 repository; and secondly how long will old repositories be available? _____ Douglas Denault http://www.safeport.com doug@safeport.com Voice: 301-217-9220 Fax: 301-217-9277
