I recommend you use yum to install the packages. This will handle dependencies and make sure you get the latest updates. You will need network access and you should configure /etc/yum.conf to use a mirror site. You can find a list of mirrors on the fedora web site. I am not sure what is causing the error message you list above. If you have a corrupted package you could try downloading it from a repository again. However using yum would be the best bet. -- Scot L. Harris webid@xxxxxxxxxx A nasty looking dwarf throws a knife at you.
