Hi, See my previous response that details my experience last night. I did try Yum but was unable to continue because I chose 'everything' for software installation which it apparently installed cman which had a dependency that could not be updated or removed thus blocking updates in general. I am starting over. -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Fajar Priyanto Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2005 3:44 AM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: FC4 does not work, "out of the box" for me; GUI/X11 fails On Wednesday 26 October 2005 14:25, Daniel B.

Hi Daniel, Don't get too upset :) You said you finished installed it in text mode: 2) Did Text-based installation and installed everything and hoped that I can somehow fix the X11/GUI later: Then you can update FC4 using yum as root in the console, type: yum check-update You'll see the upgradable packages, Then you can select the packages you want to update (in this case X11 related): yum update packagename1 packagename2 Pls let us know the result. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 17:43:01 up 6:30, 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list -- No virus found in this incoming message.
