    yum headers

    I setup yum according to the document at http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/updates/ . However, when i run yum with yum check-update because this is my first time using it, it says:

    Gathering information file(s) from server(s)
    Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Base
    Error - /var/cache/yum/base/header.info cannot be found
    Please ask your sysadmin to update the headers on this system.

    When i browse to that folder, its empty. Is there anything im missing?

    Thanks in advance.

    Download the yum.conf file from here: http://www.fedorafaq.org/samples/yum.conf . This is the most highly recognized version.

    Also, what kernel are you running. I've heard that 2.6.8 has some bugs with yum, but I don't know much about it.

    thanks both, i havent tried either yet, im about to go to sleep.

    I am running the 2.6.8-1 kernel, should i change to 2.6.7 because of all the bugs or wait?
