I've finally got around to playing with my old laptop which has FC3 installed as the distro. I wanted to get started on updating software so the faq on fedora's site said to do the following. http://www.fedorafaq.org/#installsoftware cd /etc mv -f yum.conf yum.conf.bak wget http://www.fedorafaq.org/samples/yum.conf that worked fine. then it said to install the yum configuration: rpm -Uvh http://www.fedorafaq.org/yum http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-5.rpm this resulted in an error: Retrieving http://www.fedorafaq.org/yum Retrieving http://rpm.livna.org/livana-release-5.rpm error: skipping http://rpm.livna.org/livana-release-5.rpm - transfer failed - Unknown or unexpected error Any thoughts on how I should go about updating my software for this old distro? I guess I could download the latest version and reinstall but this computer runs fine with FC3. Heck I don't even really ~have~ to update the software, I just want to do something with it to get back into practice.
