Tony's Diary

So it's been a long time since I used RPM based distro "in anger", so I'm trying Fedora 9. First tips

yum check-update Check all enabled repositories for update and display them.
yumdownloader --source ${package} To grab the source RPM (*.src.rpm) for ${package}. You must have the appropriate source repositories configured and enabled. It's a shame that this isn't available (or did I missit) with the yum command.
Rename /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf to something that doesn't end in .conf once you've setup your web content. Otherwise you just get the std. "Welcome to Fedora" page.

Note: These may not be the best ways to get the job done but they worked for me
