I gave him the URL for adding freshrpms to /etc/apt/sources.list, so he then could do an apt-get update, which would download the package lists for the first time with apt-get, for fedora updates, everything, and "only" freshrpms. Livna not entering the equation. Then an apt-get install vlc may have printed out some usefull info. If he does have some problem with Yum, trying with Apt, if Apt worked ok, might confirm it. He doesn't appear to have read what I said though, as now he's trying to get apt-get to get vlc from Livna. I'll post him back on list, and try and find out what he's done. Nigel.
