Tom, I would not expect the Fedora 8 repositories to be functional for very long if at all. Fedora 8 is "old" in the development cycle. Check out this page for details on the releases: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases Fedora 12 was just released, which means it and Fedora 11 are the only supported Fedora releases. Fedora 10 loses support about one month after Fedora 12 was released. If you want to install a more stable Linux release that doesn't require upgrades every 6-9 months, I would suggest taking a look at CentOS, a Red Hat Enterprise Linux rebuild. http://www.centos.org. /Brian/ -- Brian Long | | Corporate Security Programs Org . | | | . | | | .
