Thanks..

I was advised to do the delete and install by someone else but this is 
sure quicker!

I have am into the manual but like all manuals and newbys, they don't 
always understand each other at first! :)

In the meantime, I got this after the update..

[root LinuxBox src]# rpm -Fvh httpd-2*.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.4 is needed by httpd-2.0.40-21
libssl.so.4 is needed by httpd-2.0.40-21
[root LinuxBox src]# locate libcrypto.so.4
[root LinuxBox src]# locate libssl.so.4
[root LinuxBox src]#

I have tried to find the files but they don't seem to be found..

Thanks again
