FC3 allows the use of yum or up2date and I much prefer yum. Yum will also automatically select a repository (based on some unknown [to me] algorithm). It took me a while to discover how to turn this off and use my own choice of repository. Of course both yum and up2date are available and you can take your pick. Since I have about 50 SL machines I keep a local mirror of the part of the SL repository we use. For that reason I would prefer that /etc/yum.conf not be overwritten on an upgrade. Of course, I may be in the minority on this. -- John Franks <[log in to unmask]> Dept of Mathematics, Northwestern Univ
