Why on earth does skype update their rpm for an obsolete version of Fedora,
and then give this as the version for Fedora-7 ?
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.

Hi Rick well I did get the fc5 version from the Skype webpage and
since I had the earlier one running all the fc5 dependants were all
ready loaded so I just did the load rpm and it did and I turned it on
and it works fine. I think it will do fine so I am happy with a new
kernel, new udev and skype :-)
