Something is still not working. Here's what I get:
[root at sangam simon]# rpm -ivh

Any idea what is wrong?

PS: As I try out Fedora after having used Ubuntu for over three years,
there is one thing I appreciated about Ubuntu: The centralisation of
repositories. I think it happened about twice that I had to add
repositories to the standard ones. On my computer, I just need Flash,
mp3 and video-codecs. On Ubuntu that takes now about three clicks and
they are installed. I know, this is also a question of philosophy and a
legal considerations, but still, ... For the rest, Fedora works quite a
bit better on my computer than Ubuntu.
