I have tried that Axel, but it doesn't appear to come with the extra repos like yours as an available option. It did seem to help once I'd managed to find the repo data. I also managed to crash it a couple of times, but ti didn't trash the rpm database when it did. >yum install smart >rpm -Uhv > http://dl.atrpms.net/all/atrpms-package-config-115-3.fc6.at.i386.rpm > This helped.
