Howdy folks,

Firstly apologies I'm new to FC, trying it out coming from Gentoo. I'm surprised at the differences between the distros, I didn't think config varied so greatly.

I understand that 'yum' is my new equivalent to portage, but I can't seem to find some kernel modules using yum - madwifi wireless drivers, and the fglrx ati drivers for my video card. Is this just because FC5t2 is new, and the packages haven't been updated for FC5 yet?

Thanks,

Chris
