Getting started with package management on fedora I wanted to upgrade the Evolution package that came with my RH9 system, and decided I needed the Rawhide version. When I tried to download and install it, using rpm, I found a maze of RPMs that I couldn't navigate, so I looked for an improved package manager. I found and installed Yum from Rawhide. I couldn't make it work, and was told that Rawhide was discontinued, so I started figuring out how to use Yum on Fedora. I noticed a note that said that Yum was obsolete, so now I am trying to determine what package management interface I should use on Fedora. I would prefer to install the Fedora package manager or Yum on RH9+Win4Lin, and use it to install just Evolution and its dependencies. If necessary, I would install the entire Fedora system and Win4Lin. Questions I didn't see answers for on the Fedora-users archive or http://fedora.redhat.com/: What is the name of the package manager user interface on Fedora; where is a link to its description? Does it currently have a working GUI? If so, how can I find it? Does Yum work on Fedora? How does Yum compare with the Fedora package manager? Can you provide a link to the first documentation on the Fedora package manager that I should look at? Should I try to install the Fedora package manager or Yum on RH9+Win4Lin, and use it to install just Evolution and its dependencies, or would it be better to install the complete Fedora core 1 release, and install Win4Lin over that?
