Hey Chuck, Try the following URL: http://www.fedorafaq.org/#installsoftware Frankly, I just downloaded the yum.conf, like they recommended, and it added a good set of repo's. What is also interesting is that it has inside the comments, other repo's that you might want to consider using (have heard good things about atrpms - though I have not really used them myself yet). Just be careful that some of the "alternative" repo's do conflict in that they overlap some of the add-on's. I believe someone declared in an earlier message in the last month about some good combinations to use or not use, though the details escape me at the moment. PS, I think I might respond to the soapbox when I am more awake.... :-) --Rob
