Sorry to be negative, but I installed and tried yumex, and found it more or less useless. Or maybe I lack the necessary intelligence to use it. When I click on Update I'm prompted to fill in something for "Filter", whatever that means. When I click "Select all" at the bottom of the page and then click the second "Update" item (why two?) I'm told "No packages selected". I think that quite a lot of work needs to be done on this before it is accepted as a standard part of Fedora. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
