Fedora Core 5 Add/ Remove Software Help


Hi all,
I installed fc5 on my acer aspire and everything works just fine.
When I try to Add/ Remove software the message 'unable to retrieve software information' appears.
Could someone help me?

Thanks in advance

Good Day

How are you setup to retrieve software,do you connect to the web?,or do you upgrade/update from CD??

Fedora uses a package manager called YUM,it retrieves packages from the internet so you would need to be online for this to happen,all settings are in the /etc/yum/yum.conf file

Cheers
