Just two error messages:- http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/development/i386/wine-docs-0.9.27-1.fc7.noarch.rpm: [Errno 12] Timeout: <urlopen error timed out> Trying other mirror. Error: failure: wine-docs-0.9.27-1.fc7.noarch.rpm from extras-development: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. [root@localhost led]# I'm guessing these are caused by these sites being down, hopefully temporarily, so I will leave it for now and have another go later on today when I get up. Thanks for your help Regards John
