I wouldn't be doing "nodeps" on anything, good way to hose your
system. Like its been mentioned, I would remove all your 2.6.13
kernels first, fc4 has a 2.6.14 kernel.<br>
<br>
rpm -qa kernel\*<br>
yum remove <old-kernels> <old-kernel-devel><br>
yum update kernel yum<br>
<br>
If you get a lot of old package deps, the easiest thing to do is <br>
<br>
yum remove <all problems> and if you have to, get to a pretty lean rawhide box and then use groupinstalls<br>
<br>
yum groupupdate or groupinstall Base Gnome, stuff you use<br>
<br>
example<br>
<br>
yum groupinstall "Base" "GNOME Desktop Environment" "X Window System" "System Tools"<br>
<br>
Quotes are important if it is more than one word, just like scripting/coding<br>
<br>
yum grouplist will show you what is important<br>
<br>
<br>
Just a note, with all the new xorg updates this could be a painful time :)<br>
<br>
have fun!<br>
