I am trying to run yum.  yum is not cooperating.

Using the Personal Desktop option, there is no way to mount the installation
dvd to augment the package store.  I could, and did:

# mount -t auto /dev/dvd/ /media/cdrom

But there is neither icon nor visable means of mounting anything.  And some
daemon or other is not running.

I have installed the kde desktop, but there are numbers of tools that are not 
included.

I am finally doing a yum update.  Latest error to surface:
--> Processing Dependency: libpisock.so.8()(64bit) for package: gnome-pilot
--> Processing Dependency: libwnck-1.so.4()(64bit) for package:
gnome-applets
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: libpisock.so.8()(64bit) is needed by package
gnome-pilot
Error: Missing Dependency: libwnck-1.so.4()(64bit) is needed by package
gnome-applets
[root Natasha ~]#

I guess I will not be using those packages for a while.

fstab-sync is not updating fstab when usb storage devices are attached to
system. Nor are the corresponding entries in /media appearing.
