my fc 4 isnt yum'y enough!

[jackc]

thx for your reply craig,

weird though, which doesnt see it, rpm doesnt, neither does the cmd
line.

[root at linland tmp]# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6
(disk),10(wheel)
[root at linland tmp]# which yum
/usr/bin/which: no yum in
(/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin)
[root at linland tmp]# yum
-bash: yum: command not found



[root at linland tmp]# rpm -ql yum
package yum is not installed

is it supposed to be installed after an everything install of fc4 ?
i thought i had done all on the distribution, was i supposed to load it
later?

thx...
