Hi, I just did a clean install of Fedora 8 and was wondering what the best way to update it is? Do I use yum update or click the balloon in the taskbar, or is there another way? Many Thanks,

easiest: The balloon, will run pup {package updater}. This uses yum libraries to determine availability of updates, then after confirmation, downloads and installs them. cli: yum update y hard: download packages, then rpm -Uvh them by hand. auto: there is a way to have the system check on a schedule and autoinstall updates detected.

Thanks. I will use yum update. I wasn't sure that pup and yum update were the same thing.

1. I use yumex: gives control for selection by search, size, repo, arch etc. 2. keep cache if you have more than one fedora (same arch) machine and limited bandwidth. 3. Advs & Power of cli is anyway awesome / supreme. -- Anil Kumar Shrama
