You could use "asterisk*.x86_64" as the > argument, or you can pass --exclude="asterisk*.i?86". ok, the first suggestion worked, but i'm still puzzled about why that i586 rpm was downloaded in the first place. there are 64 asterisk* rpms for f11 beta, and that was the only one whose i586 equivalent was downloaded as well. so why was that? i checked and it doesn't look like any of the others require it as a dependency. what caused it to be picked up? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
