Correct. But a bigger problem is that A, its been deprecated, and B, its for Redhat Enterprise commercial Versions of linux, the commercial, costs more than windows, release. So it isn't going to work with fedora, ever. Fedora uses a utility called yum, which stands for Yellowdog Updater, Modified. It will do everything the up2date did, faster & better, but using the fedora repositories you set up in /etc/yum/. The install gives you a default that setup for your distro FC3, and that should continue to Just Work(TM) until FC3 has been moved to the legacy status. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
