There are separate repos for updates. Extras are just that, extra rpms not part of Fedora base. You should have repos defined in /etc/yum.repos.d, unless your yum is very old. Your first action, in any case, should be: yum upgrade yum In particular, be sure to put: exclude=kernel kernel-smp kernel-doc in your /etc/yum.conf, or you'll be wondering what happened to your Speakup Modified kernel. he yum FAQ is at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq Jeremy R Schmidt writes: > Anyone know of a good yum repo to use? > I'm going to try: > ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/i386/ > > Is this all I need if I want to install updates? > I'm using fc4, and my kernel is a 2.6.13.x (the speakup modified one). > The url I mentioned above appears to just be for extras, so wil I need to > use a different site? > > If so, any recommendations? > > Thanks, > > Jeremy > > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup@braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup -- Janina Sajka Phone: +1.240.715.1272 Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://www.CapitalAccessibility.Com Marketing the Owasys 22C talking screenless cell phone in the U.S. and Canada--Go to http://www.ScreenlessPhone.Com to learn more.
