Livna, Fedora Extras and other repositories work fine through up2date as 
the installer/ dep resolver.

I only installed the k3b-mp3 module (i think the correct module name) 
from Fedora Extras to test out what up2date would pull in from the 
Fedora Extras repository. It completed successfully.

About rc, I only wanted to test the dep solver out. The discussions 
regarding the channel info made me curious to test out.

I didn't expect this link to work with a test release running.

I'm still in test release mode, so I don't know if this will work 
properly in FC2. I think that it will work alright.


Thanks,

Jim

  20:53:47 up 2 days,  1:56, 12 users,  load average: 0.12, 0.27, 0.24 
and no troubles related to stability for FC3T1. I only had to take two 
pauses. One was because of a t-storm coming. The other was to test out 
some X on initial start issues.
