yum installs

Thanks for the reply.  I tried getting to the dag repository and got this
message:
Damaged or Bad header.info from Dag RPM Repository for Fedora Core
This is probably because of a downed server or an invalid header.info on a
repository.

I'll try the local directory and see if that fares any better.

Thanks, again.

John
