1. Don't make irrelevant replies to postings (your message is NOT a
   reply to the digest that you quoted).
2. Don't quote entire digests when you do reply to one.
3. See the guidelines for using this list:
   http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
4. Read documentation.
   e.g. http://docs.fedoraproject.org/user-guide/f11/en-US/html/chap-User_Guide-Managing_software.html

Now a quick example about your query:
To install the Pidgin instant messaging program, using the command line,
the root user would type in the following command, hit enter, then
confirm the installation when prompted:  yum install pidgin
-- 
[tim at localhost ~]$ uname -r
2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
