he's using fedora core 1, so he should check out http://www.fedorafaq.org/fc1/ and look at the section about installing software. if you decide to use yum to install software, i suggest editing your /etc/yum.conf file to have the following line: keepalive=0 i went through months of yum headaches before i found that option. fedora is cool and this mailing list is cooler...i hope your linux (and fedora) experience turns out to be a good one.
