RPM

[Michael von Lehe]

Hi Mike,

I have the same problem with up2date and yum with fedora. When I first 
installed fedora in this summer everything went fine. But recently it 
sometimes it downloads and sometimes it doesn't. up2date will start to 
download the rpm's and then just stop. If I go to the fedora.redhat.com 
ftp site and try to download them I notice that I have the same 
problem.. I can't download the rpm's.

So I look in up2date to see what rpm's I need and then go to a mirror 
site and download the rpm's to

/var/spool/up2date

Then I run up2date again and up2date will say rpm is already downloaded 
and then it installs them!


Best,

Michael von Lehe
