I use FC2 with UP2DATE. Of course, recently that stopped doing anything. So I started using Fedora Legacy for updates with yum, and have pulled some stuff which looks like it was needed. But now when I do a yum, I don't quite understand what is going on. I watch my ADSL modem, and my ETHERNET router activity lights, and what yum reports and what I see seem not to correspond. # yum update Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) [activity lights start to flash, disc quiescent] Server: Fedora Core 2 - Base Server: Fedora Legacy utilities for Fedora Core 2 Server: Fedora Core 2 updates [activity lights not flashing immediately after this display] [disc has a few hits] Finding updated packages [still no activity] [disc has a few hits] Downloading needed headers [still no activity network activity] [about 1 minute of frenzied disc activity] No Packages Available for Update [no activity, disc quiescent] No actions to take # I find this odd. What am I missing? Mike -- p="p=%c%s%c;main(){printf(p,34,p,34);}";main(){printf(p,34,p,34);} This message made from 100% recycled bits. I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
