I have to use Fedora 10 due to other installed packages that I must have on my machine.
if you MUST use a dead version of fedora then you might as well uninstall yum
because every and ALL new programs must be built from the source code
and there dependance’s as well , and if you are unlucky and one of the new programs might require rebuilding 90% of the OS ( basicly building fedora 13 from source)
but you can get it updated up to the point of END OF LIFE using the installed fedora 10 repo.
PS. do not expect the current firefox 3.6.10 to run
Note: The Fedora releases here, Fedora Core 1 through Fedora 9, are no longer supported or maintained, so they do not receive bug fixes or security updates. We do not recommend using these releases any more. To obtain the latest, supported version of Fedora, please refer to the main download page, http://get.fedoraproject.org.
