Hello Otto, nothing failed. I was just saying that the modified version
of yum that I had to use to use the RH8 legacy update system wouldn't
run on FC2. It was specially modified to run on RH8. I installed the
latest yum rpm I could find, which just happened to be for FC1, and
everything ran fine. I got the '/etc/security/selinux/file_contents: No
such File or Directory'.
warning but it didn't stop it all working. I was curious to know what
the file was.

I am very happy with FC2, it could be as good as my RH8 :-) Maybe even
better.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

regards,

Graeme.
