Re: Trying to install csh; problem with yum

["Neelanjana Sengupta" <senguptan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mogens,

Thanks for your reply. Actually my machine does have internet connection, and resolv.conf does exist in  the /etc/ file. However, some sites have been blocked in our institute, and perhaps the Fedora site is getting filtered out. Do you happen to know the IP address of the site? I'll request the administrator to open it up for me...

Also, I did not understand why you asked me to try tcsh (instead of csh).
Regards,
Neelanjana

Looks like the machine doesn't have network access, or /etc/resolv.conf
isn't set up correctly.

When you've fixed this, run:

yum install tcsh

(note the "t").
