Post subject: Help With Yum?
Archived from groups: comp>os>linux>setup, others (more info?)
I just upgraded my server from RedHat 9 to Fedora 5. I have never
used yum in the past but it appears that this is what should be used.
I need to install two things but I am having a heck of a time trying
to get yum to install them. I need httpd-devel and vnc. Can someone
suggest what the yum.conf file should look like to get these two
applications? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Both of those packages should be available from the default repositories
so you shouldn't need any modification to yum. Just use "yum install
<packagename>" to install. You can also use "yum provides <filename>" to
find package names that include a particular file or "yum list <pattern>"
to list package names with optional wildcards.

One particularly useful repository that isn't included by default is
livna. You can download an rpm for it at rpm.livna.org which will update
your yum config automatically.

Unfortunately, that package is rather hazardous. It has no version
number in the downloaded package name, and it adds a whole stack of
repositories you really, really may have to beware due to legal
issues, such as NVidia drivers for which you haven't signed an NVidia
user agreement to install.

Why would you not use Fedora 7? Is F5 supported anymore?

Fedora 7 is bleeding edge, and if the box was running RedHat 9, it's
probably a few years old. I'd hesitate myself before installing Fedora
7 on anything less than 1 GHz with 512 Meg of RAM, afraid of suffering
a big performance hit.

Fedora 7 has similar hardware requisites than FC5; there shouldn´t be any
apreciable difereces in performance between this versions.
