Fedora Updater

[Michael Robinson]

Fedora up2date sucks and will do this.  Check the little update icon to see
what updates you need.  Say it says you need the gimp update.  Go to the
command line and type "yum update gimp".  Do this for all of your updates
and they're be perfectly installed in around thirty minutes.  Good luck.

Thanks,

Well, I am defiantly what one would call a 'newbie' to the Linux world.
I played around with Mandrake 9.2 for a while until a friend told me to
give Fedora Core 1 a shot. (I agreed since Mandrake always crashed when
I would try run a gzip command)

I went to update Fedora after I had finish installing, it took me nearly
eight hours to finish downloading the updates (in on cable, downloading
these updates at about 2kB/s) When I FINALLY finished the download, the
install stopped. It wouldn't even start, it simply stayed on the screen
doing nothing. I tried this at least 4 times with the same results.

I am wondering if there is anything I am doing wrong, and if so could
someone give me some advice?

Thanks
