You need to use apt-get or yum and connect to corresponding Fedora repositories. Most Fedora users use yum so there are more yum repositories. Anyway, I don't know how to use apt-get so I'll cover yum ;-).Hi All,
I recently switched from Mandrake to Fedora Core 3. I heard a lot of good things about it...
Being the newbie that I am - I wonder how do I get updates and new sources for RPMs... In MDK I used the URPMI tool, here I found the up2date tool.
Thing is I tried to register to the rhn, now it says I need to complete registartion with a product key from a card - but I have istalled the download eddition...
Q1: How do I cancel the registartion so I can get updates?
Q2: How do I add channels to get more RPMs (i.e: crack attack, mplayer etc.)
Q3: How do I add the 4th CD ? I am missing rpmbuild - and I can't find it in the Add / Remove Apps tool... Is there a konsole tool to find available packages ?
You should be able to get updates from the default repository simply by doing ``yum update`` as root and answering ``y`` when it asks. Read `man yum` and `man yum.conf` for more options; it's quite powerful.
You may want to add more repositories. Google for fedora yum repositories and you'll quickly find some good ones. In particular, google for ESR's howto on setting up multimedia in Fedora. And you will want to use the Israely mirror of the official repository with something like this:
==> /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo <== [updates-released] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates failovermethod=priority baseurl=http://mirror.israel.net/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/

(In case the mail system ruins this, the second baseurl line should be indented, like this::
baseurl=http://...
