Yeah, the mirrors are overloaded with everyone installing and updating. Keep trying. Took me forever just to do a yum update on FC5 tonight. I think it was 9 or 10 attempts before I was able to download 27 RPMs and install them. And I had to edit the fedora-core and fedora-updates repos to use the base_url (download.fedora.redhat.com) instead of the mirror_list (fedora.redhat.com). > -wolfgang -- Kevin J.
