Hi, I was following NAQ's guide setting up my FC8 server today and I noticed there's no info on updating a fedora core 8 box. Any advice???
Edit: This is how FC8 is done (from fedorafaq.org)
Configuring Yum
Here's how to configure your yum:
1. Open a Terminal.
2. Become root:
su -
3. Install the yum-priorities package:
yum -y install yum-priorities
4. Fix the yum-priorities configuration, by opening up a file:
nano /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf
5. The contents of that file look like:
[main]
enabled = 1
You need to add the line check_obsoletes = 1 to the bottom of the file, so that it looks like:
[main]
enabled = 1
check_obsoletes = 1
And then save the file and close it.
6. Now, install my yum configuration (Updated 12 Nov 2007), using this command:
rpm -Uvh http://www.fedorafaq.org/f8/yum http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm
