That RPM is at (i'm assuming i386 here): http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/libstdc++-4.1.2-13.fc6.i386.rpm so do: curl <that URL> | rpm2cpio - > /tmp/libstdc++-4.1.2-13.fc6.i386.cpio cd / cpio -iv < /tmp/libstdc++-4.1.2-13.fc6.i386.cpio rpm -ivh <that URL> that will short-circuit the RPM's files on to the filesystem, and then follow that up with installing the RPM on top (you may need --force options). After that's done, you can try doing a yum upgrade (it's pretty easy) if you have the bandwidth. You will end up with an updated F7 system at the end. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq -Dave On Saturday 01 September 2007 09:58:37 am Jim Scott wrote: > I recently upgraded to Fedora 7.
