I initially complained about this problem to the list late last (7/28) Wednesday. Thursday evening, Matthew Hallacy offered to test the GUI tool I was using and "see what the problem is". Thank you for your offer, Matthew. Sorry, for not responding for several days. Here's a link to my original post (lacking the details provided below): http://archives.real-time.com/pipermail/tclug-list/2004-July/066791.html ------ I did a Fedora Core 2 ftp install and quite reasonably didn't request all packages to be installed. A few days later, I need a Fedora Core 2 package that wasn't initially installed. Gnome is the desktop. I look for a GUI in the default menu for gnome and see an use the following: System Settings -> Add/Remove Application It seems reasonable that the application this menu item starts can add and/or remove official Fedora Core 2 packages. After requesting the root password, selecting the above menu item starts /usr/bin/system-config-packages. Using system-config-packages, I select a Fedora Core 2 package for installation and request that the program install it. It requests that I insert Fedora Core 2 CD #3 in the CD-ROM drive!? I did a package level Fedora Core 2 ftp install. I don't have Fedora Core 2 CDs or even ISO images. Why should I be expected to have these, since I did an ftp install?
