seeing as fedora 15 is now END OF LIFE
there will NEVER be any updates , none .
install fedora 17 , then in 6 months fedora 18

also DO NOT use "text speak"

"Please" IS NOT SPELLED "plz"

also there is an even bigger issue that the now dead fedora 15

you are running a 64 bit operating system and wanting to update 32 bit packages

In addition to John VV's comments, you shouldn't be running Fedora in a server environment, because of its short release cycle, and leading edge software making it unstable and thus unsuitable for a server environment.

Since Fedora 15 is EOL in 3 days, i would suggest you take this as an opportunity to change to CentOS.

understood! "PLEASE" - you could have said nicer!

Education is a lifetime thing. The more we learn, the more we understand how much we do NOT know!

Thanks! Moving to CentOS.

Are you aware of any open source tools like pbrun to eliminate sudo access? (off this subject!)

Thanks again
