File retrieval optons: 1) Use browser -- http://linux.nssl.noaa.gov/fedora/linux/releases/11/Everything/i386/os/Packages/ or another of the Fedora mirrors. Public list is at http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/11/. 2) Use wget -- "wget -c http://linux.nssl.noaa.gov/fedora/linux/releases/11/Everything/i386/os/Packages/system-config-display-1.1.3-2.fc11.noarch.rpm"; Install using "sudo rpm -ivh system-config-display*.rpm" 3) Download and install directly using one command: "sudo rpm -ivh http://linux.nssl.noaa.gov/fedora/linux/releases/11/Everything/i386/os/Packages/system-config-display-1.1.3-2.fc11.noarch.rpm"; Another note: Don't just settle for a random mirror. Try out the mirrors listed in the Fedora Public list. Find one that reliably connects. Put your selection in fedora.repo and fedora-update.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/ (disable the mirrorslist, enable and insert the mirror's url to the baseurl line) or create your own reliable-mirror.repo file.. > Why am I not getting that app?
