Hi > Oh and where do I post something to sing the praises of the fedoralegacy > folks? That wad of stuff that scrolled by was *very* impressive .... I am not sure whether this was just humour or If you were really wondering. The stuff you saw scroll by is yum header files which contains the rpm meta data used to solve dependencies. Yum downloads header info for *all* packages in the repositories. Yum now in fc3/development tree has switched to a new meta data format and no longer uses header (.hdr) files so this should work much faster esp if you are on a slow net connection regards Rahul Sundaram
