Well it definitely sounds like yum is supposed to do the same kind of
thing as mandrakes urpmi... heres hoping it's easier to get it's sources
configured <grin> with any luck, yum will be one of the packages already
installed, and a man yum will tell me how to configure yum's sources...
I can't check at the moment as my fedora core installation is a work in
progress and I'm still doing my e-mail on my mandrake 9.1 partition <sigh> 

If there is a list of recommended sources or other yum configuration
info that "man yum" won't tell me about, please do tell.,,

But in any case: Thanks to both of you for the helpful suggestion.

On another note, somewhere in this "subject/thread" there is some discussion
about replies vs new messages and the effect on threaded mode reading...

I used pine's [S]ave function to extract both of your messages to my
workspace folder, then when I figured that I wanted to combine them in
one reply, I marked them and started this message as a reply to marked
( literally: [A]pply : [R]eply )...  

It will be interesting to see where This message winds up in the
threaded display. I welcome any comments from thread mode users as to
whether or not this kind of combination reply is a good or bad thing.
And/or how well/poorly pine did at it.
