Hello I've recently installed Fedora Core 4 and am wondering about how to decide what needs updating. Obviously I'm on the FC list and updating the security fixes but what I'd really like is a list of what is the latest version of each package so I can easily determine what I need to update. Is there such a thing ? Also I'm confused by the directories at: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/ Is the 1 directory for FC 1 only or could the latest version of a package for FC 4 be in there ? Other than that it gives me all I need - browser, xterms and some games so I guess I'll stay with it for a while.
The easy way is to type "up2date --dry-run" or "yum check-update" in a terminal window as root.
The 1 directory is for Fedora 1. Stay in the 4 directory. -- Steve
