Whats wrong with CentOS4 that he has just installed ? The orignal post
was about sources/ repositories for CentOS4, and not whats wrong with FC4.

Can we atleast try and keep some sort of thread sanity here ? If you
have nothing to say about the issues raied in the original post, please
dont. If you have an opinion on something that might be related from an
outside angle - feel free to start a new thread ( so that people with no
interest can safely ignore it ).
