I upgraded from FC3 > FC4 but my yum.conf is still for FC3, is there one
for FC4?  Or should I wait for fedorafaq.org to make one?

Look around in /etc/yum.repos.d?
for files with an extension of .rpmnew (i.e. 
fedora-updates-released.rpmnew) and do a:

mv fedora-updates-released.rpmnew fedora-updates-released.repo or 
whatever you have.

If you do not have these go to the FC4 download site and grab the 
fedora-release package.  Download that and do a rpm -Uvh 
fedora-release<TAB> .that should install all of the required .repo files.

Do you mean /etc/yum.conf ?
I don't think mine changed from FC3 to FC4.
Even the files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ didn't need to be changed,
as they had $releasever rather than 3 or 4, eg
baseurl=http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/

The only thing that actually changed, as far as I can see,
is /etc/fedora-release , which now reads
"Fedora Core release 4 (Stentz)".

Stentz? Who or what is a Stentz?

Yes.  I can't do updates without it..

Alright.  Well, I amended my /etc/yum.conf file to only read the
following:

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=fedora-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=0

I will give things a try this way. Seems to be working right now.  Will
know later if it really worked..

Thanks again for your thoughts..

The default .repo files did change between FC3 and FC4 - the FC4
versions reference a gpg key in /etc/pki/rpm-gpg, which the FC3 versions
didn't do.

I am getting a GPG signature error while doing RedHat Network GUI
updates.  Should I have done something about making sure the gpg key you
mention above would work for me in FC4??

I think all the standard keys are in /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-4 ,
so you can just say

rpm --import /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-4/*GPG-KEY*

Thanks Paul for coming to my assistance once again.

I imported those KEY's as you said and all went well.

I wish I was more up on working with the internal workings of Fedora but
I have been away from it for some time, so the simplest chores are
really mind-boggling for me right now. So assistance from yourself and
others like you is really appreicated..
