I did a clean install of FC3 ... I use Thunderbird for e-mail.
Thunderbird 0.9 is installed now, but 1.0 is available from
www.mozilla.org, but not via yum update.
If I d/l and install the new version from mozilla.org, will that mess
up the yum update process? What's the impact of installing a program
"manually" when it's handled by yum update?
I don't know when 1.0 was released, so maybe I'm just too impatient...
:-) But is there likely to be an update for Thunderbird soon, or will
the new version just be included via FC4?
Thanks,

No one is answering, so I'll take a shot at it. Have you got the
fedorafaq.org or equivalent yum.conf? If I recall correctly, my
Thunderbird was upgraded to 1.0 through the normal yum upgrade process.
I think the repos fedorafaq uses are not only faster (less congested)
but may also be a bit more on the edge. Someone else may contradict
this, but that's my experience.
