It's not in an F7 repository. Go to their site, right click on the link to the RPM and choose "Save link as..." and download it. Go to the directory where you downloaded it and do: $ sudo - rpm -ivh skype-1.4.0.99.fc5.i586.rpm Note that there are some dependencies that it may need that you don't have (the curse of not having it in a repo). If so, then "yum -y install whatever-it-needs" (Qt and a couple of others come to mind), then repeat the "rpm -ivh" bit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxx - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - "The bogosity meter just pegged." - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
