A couple of questions: I know now that I should use RPMs intead of .targz files to install so YUM can keep track of the installations. If I download an RPM and install without using YUM, will it be seen by YUM, APT, etc? I have installed FC2 on a "Practice" machine and would like to start from scratch again. Should I reinstall FC2 or wait for FC3? Would I be able to use FC2 RPMs on FC3? Thanks for a most helpful list. b
