It's funney as often as the question is asked. No one ever seems to write down *exactly* what files and order they're installed in.  What I can tell you is that it can be done. And since you have the 2.3 CD is should be quick. IIRC rpm need to be upgraded.  Which needs something else.. something else.. something else. What i would recomend is to install as much as possible at one time. Installing packages *with* there codependencies. ie rpm -Uvh rpm rpm-devel glibc glibc-devel x y y-devel' It makes it easier as rpm will give you better responses if you're missing something.  All the required packages should be on your 2.3 CD. You may want to search this ML if anyone actually wrote down the exact course of action. [ps write it down and post it!]
