Fedora Core 2 Review (LinuxLookup.com) Posted May 20, 2004 20:01 UTC (Thu) by kasperd (guest, #11842) [Link] up2date not working is the only real complaint in my view.The problem is most likely caused by too many people trying to download from the same server. Would be nice if up2date offered an easy way to select a mirror to download from.
Fedora Core 2 Review (LinuxLookup.com) Posted May 20, 2004 20:23 UTC (Thu) by JoeBuck (subscriber, #2330) [Link] Solve both the up2date problem and the mp3 problem as follows. Step 1: go to the Fedora Extras site and follow the directions for installing apt. Do "apt-get mirror-select" to choose your mirror. Step 2: go to livna.org, and follow the instructions to add the Livna repository to your apt configuration. Do "apt-get update". Now, you're set to install MP3 support, DVD support, as well as apps like mplayer or Xine, all with "apt-get install", and keep everything up to date the Debian way. Red Hat will not tell you about livna, because livna apps might infringe US patents and distributing some of them might violate the DMCA.

If you did an upgrade instead of a fresh install, check for a /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources.rpmnew file.
