What I have not seen is what to point yum to (the FCt3 develop dist is a dead end) for FC4, how to do that, and when it will be available. A lot of users are pointing to other Repos (non Redhat / Fedora). Anyway, the sendmail root@localhost will have a list of packages that were installed on any day. June 2 mail s/b 4 am, so June 3 mail may have to sets of packages list. The second set may be part of FC5? Sort thru that and determine what is missing, or what was too much. I am stopped at 7 packages for Gcc4 \4.0.0.9\ on the Up2Date ignore list so my OO0 104-2 (reinstalled after gcc4 \4.0.0.8\ ) will still run as the newer complied OO0 never came down. Don't know how many server packages would be between the \4.0.0.9\ but I didn't see anything in the buildlists before June 2 that would be FC5? So the last two sendmail will tell the story. SlowJet
