Probably the easiest thing is to use the distribution CDs and run redhat-config-packages ( I think that is correct for an FC1 system). Then select the package groups you want to add such as GNOME or KDE and the other development stuff. After that you will want to run yum to update all of those packages to the latest versions. Yum will handle all the dependencies for the new packages for you. If you have not already make sure you configure yum to use a mirror site, that will be much faster than the default redhat site. -- Scot L. Harris <webid@xxxxxxxxxx>
