I run Smart on all my FC5 boxes, and Yumex as well. They are configured the same, though I haven't bothered to enter all the mirrors in Smart that are looked up by Yumex - it's one area where Smart is a bit cumbersome, so I haven't bothered. So, the repos are exactly the same on my machines for both package managers, but the Yumex configuration has more mirrors to try. -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA
