Thank you for posting a summary of the weekly fedora news article.

Why not also include an article about the new GNOME and KDE releases. Personally I wouldn't mind know how to get fedora core 4 in its current state to run KDE 3.4.3 or GNOME 2.12....

Just a suggestion.

Hi

I have tried to use the update to Rawhide but it doesnt seem to work do you have to install everything to get it working as it keeps failing on specific dependancies. So far I have started Syncing the Rawhide Packages to my internal FTP so that I can do a local FTP install.

The development tree does break in dependencies at times. It would be better to post to fedora-test list for help if you cant figure out a workaround
