Fedora 9

[srdempster]

I took the plunge and went over to fed9 so far so good but I want to add repositories and linva is a no go it screws up the updater and add remove prog's applets.It keeps coming up with http 404 errors!I wanna run it as my replacement for windows shista and run virutalbox in it (i assume it's the same as fed8 to set up),with some emulators for nintendo,sega & computers from my past(!)
Anyone know of any good repo's,software,etc that actually works within fed9??
Answers on a postcard......


Thanks Steve :D :)

Need to add that I'm running an ATI card so the linva was ideal for setting the 3d fx up my laptop is a dell vostro 1000. I've cracked the broadcom wlan issue with full 54mb speed too.

Fedora 9 is development. There are no alternative repos for it. You may want to consider moving to Fedora 8 for a few months until 9 is released.

Moved to Fedora focus


Please don't post any more F9 questions in the general forum ( F9 test releases aren't supported by Fedora forum !!!).
Use the Fedora focus section for these F9 questions .



P.S your ATI card is unsupported in F9 due to the 2.6.25 kernel and the 1.5 development version of the xorg server .!!!

You know, livna standard won't work because Fedora Release number is 8.92 (if you are fully updated), but they don't have a 8.92 dedicated folder. You need to disable livna repo and enable livna-devel.repo if you are running rawhide ;)
