With invaluable help here, I've just gotten 6.0 onto a PC. I went through the listings in PackageKit, removing things I know I'll never use; ran yum update; installed Opera; went to the epel, rpmfusion, and one whose name slips my mind (It's a new name.); enabled them all; and tried to get a lot of my regular apps : [....] Setting up Install Process No package dillo available. No package epiphany available. No package galeon available. No package midori available. No package privoxy available. No package seamonkey available. Error: Nothing to do [root at localhost ~]# Does this mean I have to go chugging all over the web, digging out one (hopefully not quite obsolete) rpm after another? Is there no easier way?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

It may be possible to rebuild the fedora versions but I greatly suspect that there will be a significant issue with the necessary dependencies for most of those apps.

I don't remember where or how I got the spec though. Ah, OK, I got it at http://www.hyperborea.org/software/ Whether that was recommended to me or I just found it, tested it on a throwaway VM and found it was OK, I don't know. Pretty sure it just rebuilt without issues though. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Buffy: What do you want?

Dillo in particular is both faster and safer than any other browser I know of. So I make it my default -- and think twice about any site it refuses to deal with. How about Arora, Kazehakase,and Rekonq? Yum doesn't get them, either. And what do CentOS people do for a newsreader? I can't get by without Gmane .... How about a proxy?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
