Yes ... I don't want to mess up the system.<BR>
Can I not download the package and install it without dinking with the yum settings?<BR>
<BR>
I'm looking at <A HREF="http://www.rpmseek.com/rpm-pl/metamail.html?hl=com&cs=metamail%3APN%3A0%3A0%3A1%3A0%3A0%3A0&qArStr=1&qRtStr=1&qDnStr=0">http://www.rpmseek.com/rpm-pl/metamail.html?hl=com&cs=metamail%3APN%3A0%3A0%3A1%3A0%3A0%3A0&qArStr=1&qRtStr=1&qDnStr=0</A> and I don't see CentOS listed.<BR>
<BR>
