Bruce,
Dude, don't use "Reply" to start a new thread.
Now your unrelated question is threaded to mine via headers like these:
References: <440DE90F.6040606@xxxxxxxxxxx>
In-Reply-To: <440DE90F.6040606@xxxxxxxxxxx>
And I'm less likely to get a useful response now.

I recently installed fedora core 3 and have had some difficulties
with using yum. Finding many different suggestions on the internet
as to which repositories to use is confusing.
When I do a sudo yum update, I get a lot of missing dependencies
(below). And yum itself won't install them. Many of these same
dependencies prevent me from installing certain programs.
Where do I find the correct repositories for Fedora core 3?

Yes, send new threads directly to fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx . And as for
the question, there's different opinions on the matter, but generally
you will want to use the base (fedora.repo), updates-released
(fedora-updates.repo), extras (fedora-extras.repo) and livna
(livna.repo) repositories; these are all continually kept compatible
with one another, and only for a few obscure programs you might have to
go to rpmforge repositories or others. You can look at
http://www.fedorafaq.org/fc3/samples/yum.conf and take the Fedora Extras
and Livna.org sections and put them in the appropriate .repo files (in
/etc/yum.repos.d/), and JPackage (lots of java packages, also kept
compatible with extras) also if you like. Leave the stock yum.conf though.
