    Hi Nigel, I wanted to see if apt-get would work with livna and found 
out it doesn't as I sent you. I am now looking at removing yum from this 
F8 and from the F8 DVD re-load an entire new yum.  But not yet sure I 
can do that.

    But it doesn't matter much. This is just fun to see if old time 
methods work. If not nothing much lost.
