And in reference to upgrading from F16 to F17....I'm not realy going to do THAT until I know they've worked out all the kinks, I always kind of "trail" the releases so that I'm never so far ahead that I can't go "back". I only recently moved up from F15 when it's Support Life Cycle ended....I;l be moving from F16 to F17 when F16's EOL has arrived as well.....but I'm going to definitely try out thi command line when I get out of the office today...thanks you again for the advice! Also, just as a "side-quest" if you will......
 
So I have a 320GB HD that has corporate data on it, and I need to acess that data. It's a Western Digital SATA drive, with that "WDVault" software on it that's suposed to keep the data secure, well it works, because when I plug it into my PC i can see the WDVault partiton wvhich isn't that big, but when I look for the info it tels me that I don't have permission to access it!!?? Is threre anyway for me to get to this info?.....lok forward to reading your responses!!
 
Cheers!

I have tried being selective and choosing just one or two of the updates in the he updates list, hoping that after they went through I'd be able to do the rest but to no avail. I would like to submit a photo of the actual updates, but I think I remember reading that it's not allowed on this mailing list. SO I have just copied the names of the updates, and the error message I get when it fails. Hopefully someone can help me out with this!?

It sounds like you are trying to upgrade from F16 to F17?  Via what method?

And you have F15 stuff still on your F16 system?

Maybe a good idea would be to first run yum distro-sync ....  And find whatever else is hanging around from F15.
