This is a problem. If you cannot find it, there is something wrong with your fedora repo configuration. In fact, it hasn't been called "base" for a while now. It should be called "fedora". When I do updates, yum finds the following: > atrpms 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 > livna 100% |=========================| 2.1 kB 00:00 > google 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 > macromedia 100% |=========================| 1.9 kB 00:00 > dribble 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 > adobe-linux-i386 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 > updates 100% |=========================| 2.3 kB 00:00 > freshrpms 100% |=========================| 2.1 kB 00:00 > fedora 100% |=========================| 2.1 kB 00:00 yes, I have a few "extra" repositories configured. But note the "names". Why are yours different? system-config-printer-0.7.74.4-3.fc8 exists on the original installation media. I can find it just by going to the repositories with my web browser. Here is a URL to it (if you can't find it on your local media): http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/Packages/system-config-printer-0.7.74.4-3.fc8.i386.rpm Download it using your favorite WWW browser or wget. (adjust the i386 part to match your architecture requirements if necessary) install it using rpm. In fact, I think you can give the URL directly to rpm and it will download it and install it for you (assuming it needs no other dependencies). -- Kevin J.
