How do i tell if the fedora-release package is installed? is that the gui for add/remove programs. If it is when i try and look at that i get "unable to retrieve software information. This may be cause by not having a network connection" i am connected to a network though?
When on the command line and logged in as root user the following command should tell you: rpm -qa | grep fedora-release If that returns nothing then you have to manually download the fedora-release package (and possible the fedora-release-notes package) for the version of Fedora that you have installed. What version of Fedora do you have installed? Was there some steps that you did previously that might have caused packages to go missing? /Mike
