I am running that on desktop Application> .., but it always say "unable to retrieve software info", Do I need connect the PC to internet? I would like to see a gui interface give me the info whats sort of software available to install / remove. When I initially installed the Fedora, i could tick whatever packages in the gui window. I wish to run that utility again. Could anyone please show me the way. Thanks a lot.

Yes, you need to be online normally. You can change that if you have a CD or or other means to install a program. Normally you try to stick with the distro's install scheme. Fedora uses RPM's normally. Usually you just click on an rpm and it installs the package or application. "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

Thank for all of your responses. However, my Fedora 7 is a standalone host or behind MS-ISA. Yum did not work. And from GUI MainMenu >Applications > Add/Rem Software (pkg mgr) could not be launched - "Unable to retrieve software info". Could please show me how to install some pkg from the Fedora 7 in the cdrom driver? For example, I need to install dhcpd, and named, but in Fedora cd there are not there rpm files. I understood that these modules were combined with other network utilities, and If I made a brand-new install of linux, I could tick them in some options. I prefer not to download from dhcpd.rpm etc from network, cuz when I install it always asks for extra so.lib. etc. I have the original F7 CD with me, how can I install these modules, please help.

you could edit the /etc/yum.repos.d file and change all the repos in that file, InstallMedia] name=Fedora 8 mediaid=1194015397.199387 metadata_expire=-1 gpgcheck=0 cost=500 enabled = 0 changing the enabled to 1, enabling the repo and changing all others to 0 MSI 845e mb 1 gb ram and a p4 2.4n running fedora 7 xp ,win 2000 advanced server and win 98 SE alot to learn and I know so little !!!!
