Mark; thanks for your guidance. List installed does show: packetfence-freeradius2.noarch 3.4.1-1.el6 @PacketFence Really, I have little experience with CentOS and haven't used Red Hat variants for 15 years or so; I'm wondering whether I wouldn't be better starting afresh with Debian, with which I'm much more familiar - just that the Packetfence documentation suggests it is all so much easier with RH systems!

Nick, yum list installed|grep packetfence I guess it's not showing as installed? You can look at the yum logs cat /var/log/yum.log or, if your CentosOS6 yum history list and drill into the relevant bits using yum history 000 (where 000 is the ID of the event you want more detail on) Does any of that turn up clues?

Mark, Thank you very much for following up; my messages were hitting the mailing list in a very strange order! I did find the installer, but still struggling with the package...
