Re: [MLUG] fedora problems

[Matthew Lowrance <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Alot of the up2date problems are that the redhat mirror is ALWAYS
swamped.  Look here:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-March/msg04316.html

for an example yum.conf that has a large number of mirrors in it. 
You'll have alot more luck installing packages from a mirror than using
the default Red Hat site.

You can read more about YUM here:

http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/

it works alot better than up2date does.

Hope this helps
