yes that would work, but it's preferable just to update all packages instead of one at a time.
So if I understand you I could run:
Code:
su yum update ?
What does the ( -c ) variable represent?
I have learned a little from the website www.fedoraproject.org. Is there other documentation that you could recommend I read and other websites I could learn from?

Rep:
why? because it is a one word command with no flags
the quotes are just to avoid the su command assuming that extra switches and flags are being passed to SU rather than the command being with su.
As far as i know the firefox on fedora 16 64 bit is the 32 bit
I use the 64 bit build ( and the 64 bit plugins )
This would bypass using yum ( or in my case "zypper" )
Ant would require a manual install
( rather easy )
After Firefox 13 ( we are at 17 now) Firefox will AUTO UPDATE
Now
the fedora repos will be up to date
and the version in the fedora repos ( i think the remove the auto update ???? -- not sure--)
so
if all you do is run
Code:
su -
yum update
you will be up to date
--- now IF and this is a big if
If you want to manually install FF
post back
i can post the needed instructions for the 64 bit firefox AND the 64 bit plugins
-- you will have to do a small bit of work to get it to work --
