What's up? I just downloaded and installed FC3 and I'm loving it so far. Only two things I'm trying to figure out. First: Is there a any programs on here like GnoRPM so I can manage my installed programs a little better.
Not really. Probably the nearest is yumex (http://fedoranews.org/tchung/yumex/), though if you install apt then there's a highly-regarded GUI for it called synaptic.
The "official" tool is system-config-packages but unfortunately it's rather broken (especially after you've updated your system) and is due to be replaced in a future version of Fedora Core.
Second: Why won't it let me install source RPMs? I tried a couple and it keeps telling me I can't because of "system-config- packages." Is there any way around this? Thank you for your help. Peace.
There shouldn't be a problem installing SRPMS on the command line. How are you trying to install them and what exactly is the error message you're getting?
Paul.
