yum extra servers for getting packages and latest rpm of nano for fedora core 3

yum extra servers for getting packages and latest rpm of nano for fedora core 3

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, I got my fedora core 3 system back running again with the speakup 
kernel.  I was wondering where I could get information on yum servers and 
how to contact the fedora project on redhat because some packages should 
be updated to the most stable and latest stable versions like nano?  Where 
can I get a nano-1.2.5.i386.rpm file because fedora core 3 only contains 
1.2.4 and I want the latest version that is stable in rpm format?  Also, 
looking in the services section in setup I see yum is a choice as a 
service to start automatically when my system boots, is it recamended to 
start this service for automatically updating and will it update 
automatically like it does when I do yum -y update & then logout to let it 
update in the background?  I also in /etc/rc.d/rc.local have a line that 
reads /usr/bin/yum -y clean all is this a bad idea on boot to have yum 
clean packages and headers?  bye

Have you heard of Google?

You should try it. It's great for answering questions like these. That's
what I do, in any case.

So, I'm not going to answer your questions, because I'd have to go to
Google to get the answers, and I am not your slave.
