If you want software from a different repository, it is as simple as 
enabling the repository and getting a list of applications.  It is 
time for you to do some reading up on yum.  It is allot different and 
nicer than the old download, install what will install, download the 
dependencies and install what will install ......
  Sorry, what I  failed to mention was that I'm using my roommate's Windoz machine for  file dnloads and <shudder> yahoo to get email. He's got DSL, so  we just added a network hub, and since Sprint uses pppoe I'm wildly  updating to just get the sucker to get the ipaddress's and nameservers.  Then I'm burning all these updates to CD's and transporting them  physically to my Fedora machine, kinda like all at once! <smile>  Trouble shooting with a shotgun... 
  
  So, that's why I was looking for update instructions for humans to  read.  I know I'll just love yum once  I get to the net... I  updated KDE to use the new network manager and some pppoe deamons that  I found.  Uptodate used to make me crazy.  I do love Linux  though, and have great plans for using it.
  
  Thanx for any considerations, Ric
