I have been fiddling with it on the colmmand line. It appears the arm porters did a not great work on fedora 12. for instance I have tried installing both some individual apps (err packages) and groups as well using yum groupinstall. I have encountered "dependancy hell" (wasn't yum setup to alleviate that?) in both instances. too bad why would people half port something? perhaps there will be a better fedora 13 arm port in the future. I'd be suprised if there were any graphical things that wouldn't be better in quoles masterful easy debian at this point.

Half port is better than no port We shall announce the easy debian as king of all ports then

ep should have an answer for that. Without X I don't see much use of it.

My biggest complaint about Fedora ARM is the missing packages. It feels like they did it as an experiment, or a proof of concept, rather than a working distribution. Debian actually works, and most of the packages are there. Sometimes I forget how much work they've done on the Debian distro, and it takes something like the Fedora ARM distro to realise how amazing the Debian ARM system is.

On the other hand, I'm disappointed that you're having so many troubles. That's really too bad.

like for instance tring to install yum groupinstall Base fails.

I agree it is a real shame. I also agree it makes you really apreciate debian for arm more. shame as again there really are enough differences to justify learning the 2 distros, and most production environments will use the fedora like commands.

You have to rebuild the database and then edit your repo files to get yum working.

Make the repos look like this:

fedora.repo
Code:
[fedora]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch
#mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.fedora-arm.wantstofly.org/?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch
baseurl=ftp://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/pub/fedora/linux/releases/12/Everything/arm/os/Packages/
enabled=1
metadata_expire=7d
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch

[fedora-source]
name=Fedora $releasever - Source
failovermethod=priority
baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/source/SRPMS/
#mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-source-$releasever&arch=$basearch
enabled=0
metadata_expire=7d
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-primary

[fedora-arm-source]
name=Fedora ARM $releasever - Source
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.fedora-arm.wantstofly.org/?repo=fedora-source-$releasever&arch=$basearch
enabled=0
metadata_expire=7d
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch
and fedora-updates.repo

Code:
[updates]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - Updates
#mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.fedora-arm.wantstofly.org/?repo=updates-released-f$releasever&arch=$basearch
baseurl=ftp://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/pub/fedora/linux/updates/12/arm/

[updates-source]

#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/$releasever/SRPMS/
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released-source-f$releasever&arch=$basearch

quole already made a working you rootfs which I used, yum is working in it. If I do the steps you outline will it be any better? for instance can you do yum groupinstal Base?
