Hi Janina and list, It looks like the yum solution was the way to go. I downloaded the FC2 release of Yum and changed my yum.conf file to point to the Fedora Core 2 RPM's on a local Fedora Core mirror. The packages are downloading now, so hopefully they'll install. I'll keep you guys posted. Stephen Clower, that guy from the south.
