My shop box spent about 12 hours today trying to get that file, failing in most cases from an md5sum error in a packet header someplace, and eventually I ctl-c'd it. Then I added that file to the exclude statement, but then yum apparently couldn't call home anymore. Ping times to downloads.fedora.com were in the millisecond range all during this time so I fail to see where the errors were being generated. ifconfig's reports were sparkling clean of any error. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
