Another point to make is that most rpms installed without need the 
fedora extras repositories. The conflicts just sarted for me with xine-lib.

Earlier when I configured livna to work, fedora core was the only needed 
repository mentioned. As things are moving from Fedora Core to fedora 
extras, adding these to your yum or up2date config files is needed.

A great thanks to those working on Fedora Extra development. Among 
programs that are currently in the mix, they are my favorites. It is 
great to see fortune-mod being available, apt and the multimedia programs.

Hopefully the understanding for the repository mix requirments will be 
better understood by both newbies and those that have been using linux 
for years.

Also, I'm impressed that development, all of the fedora extra repos and 
livna repos all seem to not clash with each others developmental efforts.

Thanks!

Jim
