You should. Also your network may not come up until you do a dhclient or whatever is necessary for your network device to be brought up, which may be why you couldn't get repo data. You also didn't specify whether you did a minimal install of rawhide, or branched, as they will get different repos. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
