I'm talking about the Fedora project - as in 'Fedora Core'. Now 'Fedora Extras' is part of the 'Fedora' project (and pre-extras - is currently behaving like 'rawhide' to 'extras') For eg: you won't find 'apt' metadata for 'Fedora Core' http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/os/ < however some mirrors create apt metadata for your use> > I have had a look at the rpms I could just download them and install > but I like Synaptic and want to keep everything under one roof. You might have to wait for some mirrors to (host the extras/pre-extras repository) and generate this metadaga for your use. Satish
