FC3 also has the same thing. The answer I got was that you should use redhat-release, because that always works on any release. fedora-release Provides: redhat-release, so I'd imagine yum does something similar to this: >rpm -q --whatprovides redhat-release fedora-release-3-8 -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
