I have installed yum and initially was able to download headers and packages. I'm running yum from rpm: yum-2.4.0-63.rhfc4.at OS: Fedora Core 4 When I run yum check-update, I see: yum-2.4.0-63.rhfc4.at Press any key to continue...

I understood that the check-update function was supposed to refresh the headers. What am I missing. How should I be getting new headers? TIA Fred
