This was fun for me to figure out as well. Drupal 6 is what is in the F14
respositories, not Drupal 7 (unless there is a package name extension
which differentiates between the two -- "yum install drupal" installs
Drupal 6).
yes, I see that. Here's what I got:

Here are a few links that may clear things up a bit:

Note that these are installations for Drupal 7 from
drupal.org, not from
the yum repositories for F14, as the repositories do not carry D7. This
means you have to pay attention to the report panel inside Drupal and keep
up with updates on your own (which is less fun than using yum update,
obviously, but not hard).
Yes, I'll follow up on the references, thanks very much.
