Fix Fedora 5 Add/Remove Software Problem - fix the problem that cannot add/remove software without Internet conne

I have tried three times to get Fedora Core 6 to install but I keep getting the same error message:
“there was an error running your transaction, for the following reason(s): file conflicts”. I am
using all of the default settings except changing the time zone and basically installing all
packages. The error always happens near the end of the fifth disk. I have run sha hash checking on
all media and everything checks out. Has anyone had this problem or a possible solution?...

Hi all, I tried to install Fedora Core 9 in a VmWare virtual machine under WinXP. I downloaded the
DVD ISO image and proceeded with the installation. When the process was started since about a
minute, the following error did show: "The file evince-2.22.1.1-1.fc9.i386.rpm cannot be opened.
This is due to a missing file, a corrupt package or corrupt media" Fine, I told to myself,
let's download the ISO image again, this time from a different server, just in case. No joy,
same error. Tried another couple of times, each one using a different server for the download. Sa...

Virtualization is the technique of running a "guest" operating system inside an already-running OS;
for example, Windows inside Linux, or vice-versa. This article compares four virtualization products
available for Ubuntu Linux: the free, open source Qemu; the closed-but-free versions of VirtualBox
and VMware-Server, and the commercial Parallels.

I was trying to load Fedora into my Machine. After 30 minutes of smooth run, I succeeded in
installing it. All along my mouse was working just fine. After the installation was complete, when I
rebooted the machine still mouse was fine. Now finally after I give the user ID and password fpr
login, the mouse pointer just disappeared!!! Well, the mouse still works. When I move the mouse the

On several occasions, I have attempted to install Linux on my computer in a dual boot format to
learn how to use Linux and more importantly, learn how to set up a web server. In the past, I have
installed a couple of versions of Red Hat, Unbuntu, Gentoox, GoblinX, and now a couple of versions
of Fedora Core. The only thing all of these have in common is that installation is problematic at
best. While most distributions of Linux include all the required software to set up a server, I
have never been able to realy get it done. Finding where Apache's configuration...

Has anyone got Fedora Core 5 running under Microsoft’s Virtual PC? I have been using

Hello all! I've been messing around with Linux for the past couple of days, and in the process
I destroyed my Windows 2K installation. I tried Gentoo, however that's a story for another post.
What I'm focusing on here is Fedoracore 4 Linux, i386. Installing I must say that it was a
major let down to see a graphical installation system. It's not that I have anything against GUI
s, it's just that it doesn't feel like Linux, ya' know? The GUI lets you manually
partition your drives and select all the packages you want installed. However, yo...

After doing a complete backup of Fedora Core 3, I thought it was time to try Fedora Core 4 out. You

Hi, Everyone uses Windows, but I think Windows is not a good operating system at all. I use Fedora
Core 3 (http://fedora.redhat.com/) as a main operating system and it is all ok. It gives me
everything I need. Easy to install, easy to configure, easy to maintain, free. Nothing else you
need. Many people told me that they doesn't run Unix based operating systems because they will
not be able to use Win32 applications. In fact, there are 2 options to run "Windows" or any other
operating system from a Unix box. The first one is to use an emulator (such as Wine for runi...
