Yup, I tried to start by mapping out possibilities/permutations and then
figure out the tutorial layout by thinking about flow for each
possibility.
Just to get this link into the archives, perhaps throw it into the
bugzilla when it's generated:
http://www.fedoranews.org/alex/tutorial/yum/
The script included in that tutorial does a nice job of getting updated
packages from the mirror I point it at, set at my time interval.
I don't know how CC and FDL licensed documents mix. It'd be a shame to
have to redo the implementation. Has anyone encountered this yet? It's
