Thanks for the answer. <br>"python" now points back to python2.4, but yum doesn't seem to be convinced. <br>I think I'm going to wait for FC6, then reinstall and patch the kernel.<br>Thanx anyway!<br><br>Cyrill.<br><br><b><i>Lloyd Kvam <lkvam@venix.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> On Sat, 2006-10-14 at 11:28 -0700, Cyrill wrote:<br>> Hey there<br>> I am new to this list, and new to Planetccrma too, but not to<br>> GNU/Linux (was first on Debian and then Ubuntu before).<br>> <br>> I have recently switched to Fedora C5, whose installation was almost<br>> painless.
