a time trying toget 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

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

Many thanks Richard for your reply.

Might you know how I could get my hands on FC2 or FC3?  

Saw from the archives that you brought a set of CDs to the last BLUG meeting.

Any chances of getting a set from you?

FYI, my personal e-mail:  [email protected]

Perhaps we could communicate off-line?
