Hi all, New to this group and a Linux newbie -- although I do have a computer science undergrad degree and spent 10 years doing Unix/SQL in my previous life back in the US. (Glad to have the shell prompt and vi editor as opposed to the DOS edit stuff...) :-) Anyway, installed Fedora Core 1 Linux but am having a heck of a time trying to get the redhat/fedora upgrade function to work. I even tried using just "yum" to no avail... Note that I managed to get Java,Flash,LimeWire and FireFox installed. At this time, I would like to install a video player that works as mplayer is disabled from this distribution. Couldn't get any of the other ones to compile without Fedora being updated... I noticed that my Beijing Telecom ADSL Internet connection isn't the smoothest. Don't always get the website I want -- need to hit reload a few times before it works. Fudementally, it looks like it's not finding the upgrade server all the time hence it's timing out. Appreciate any advise on how to get this working... --Charles _______________________________________________ blug-general list [email protected] http://list.beijinglug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/blug-general
