i'm new to fedora and this list, although i've been using redhat linux since version 4.2. i skipped rh 9, but now am starting to work with fedora due to a customer requirement.
i've installed fedora core 1 on an x86 desktop, and it's been pretty decent so far; the install is better than it was on rh8.0, although it'd be good to see a few more improvements. postgresql came right up (one of the customer requirements is a reasonably current postgres.) i've not yet installed java 1.4.2 so the jury is still out on that.
however, i'm a little stumped by the update process. up2date is crashing in python, and not updating anything. when i fetched the glib rpms and tried rpm -Fvh, i got a complaint about the public keys. i can't find anything in the release notes about how to update the keys.
can anyone point me in the right direction, or at the right document?
To install the GPG keys: http://fedora.artoo.net/faq/#GPGSig
To set up up2date so it points at a decent mirror: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-January/msg01577.html
I have been using yum over up2date lately. It justs seems better to me...(Read the FAQ some more, you will find out how to settup yum there)
Sun's Java 1.4.2_03 works perfectly for me on Fedora BTW, so probably no need to go to court. The FAQ has tips on how to set that up, but I am sure you won't need that.
Cheers, Michael
