fedora core 1


Recommended Posts

I just installed fedora core 1 on my computer and I plan to use it as my windows replacement and normal os. I also have a gentoo stage 1, but that is beside the point. I really like it and it is very functional, however I have ran into a major bug that is bugging me. I am having major problems with rpms. If one fails to install I have to restart my computer in order to install more. This is annoying as it is very difficult to tell which ones will work or not. I was wondering if anybody had a solution to this. I have searched for one but the few I found didn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

I finally ditched slackware :cry: I had the choice between ditching slackware or gentoo, but I decided to keep gentoo because my slack install was started to get messy. I like gentoo and it runs much faster than slack due to a stage 1 install with very high optimization. However I cannot use my printer with gentoo...and I couldn't with slack either. So gentoo will sit on the back burner, and be used as a learning tool for c.

if rpm craps up, yum won't work ( at least I think this is why yum wouldn't work). I just need a few more rpms installed. I might keep it updated with up2date after those rpms, but I have heard of problems with it... they are fixable though. Fedora is going to be my stable distro that I can rely on ... I am learning c on gentoo right now and am planning on hacking the hell out of it. :D

in case you didn't notice urpmi is an old version which WILL NOT work properly with Fedora Core 1. This is one of the main things that critics have smacked the developers and the distro for. I suggest downloading and installing the latest version as it should work a ton better

It's possible, both apt and yum have similar feature sets so they can do a lot of the same things. There are just differences in how each one finds out what's available on the server. yum downloads a small 5KB-20KB or so file for each rpm on the server, apt puts them all in a gz that you download - each method has it's benefits.

In the end the program doesn't matter as much as the number of servers offering repositories for one or the other though. apt is more common at this point.
