I guess a possible followup question would be "is there a list

Either look at the install CDs, or browse one of the on-line Fedora
repositories, or be lazy and pull a:
yum list system-config*
I tried to run yum but that failed also
I assume there is a config file somewhere that will allow me to set a
proxy or some such.
export http_proxy="http://your.proxy.here:8080"
(Replace proxy hostname and port with the proper settings on your
network.)
Then run yum.
To make this config bit permanent, create the file
/etc/profile.d/proxy.sh and put in it the "export" line i indicated
above. Logout/login and it should work.
Then all your command-line utilities (wget, links, etc.) should "see"
this proxy, not only yum.
The name of the file is not critical, just make sure it's in
/etc/profile.d and it has a .sh extension.
If I can get it running I may try the rest of your
suggestions - the packages on FreshRPMS look rather interesting...
You could install those packages manually, but yum makes the whole
process orders of magnitude simpler and faster.
Thanks again for your help. My machine now feels complete!
Glad to hear that.
