I did the up2dateing from KDE, waited for the icon to go red and clicked it etc. I was asked for my root password and away it went. As I said it took me a few goes to get to lines in the 2 files correct. pasted below are the lines I ended up with. these two from /etc/yum.conf baseurl=http://zeniiia.linux.org.uk/pub/distributions/fedora/linux/core/$release rver/$basearch baseurl=http://zeniiia.linux.org.uk/pub/distributions/fedora/linux/core/updates/ $releaseserver/basearch these two from /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources yum fedora-core-1 http://zeniiia.linux.org.uk/pub/distributions/fedora/linux/core/1/i 386/os yum updates-released http://zeniiia.linux.org.uk/pub/distributions/fedora/linux/core/ updates/1/i386 The lines have wrapped a bit funny but it should Make sense. The ogigionals I left in but #ed the out. May be some other kind person can comment on your root problem. Regards Roger
