I had exaclty the SAME PROBLEM: UNABLE TO INSTALL LAME

First of all, would you please excuse my bad English. Second, please note that:
- I am a newbie in Linux
- I use the netbook Acer Aspire OneAcer [1],;  which embeds a (lighter version 
of) Fedora8; the device pleases me very much and gives me the will to go 
further with Linux Fedora, though I feel a bit lost. This forum seems to be the 
first serious one I encounter.

I may have encounter the same  _conflict_ issue, but it can only come from a 
contradiction between the official Fedora repository ant Livna, as I have not 
installed any other repository than Livna:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [2] lib]# ls /etc/yum.repos.d/
fedora-development.repo  fedora-updates.repo          livna-devel.repo  
livna-testing.repo
fedora.repo              fedora-updates-testing.repo  livna.repo
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [3] lib]# 

 FINALLY, I downloaded the suggested rpm from http://atrpms.net/dist/f8/lame/ 
[4]  , installed the required dependencies, and had no conflict issue.

I don't understand very well what I have done, and why it is so complicated, so:
QUESTION: could anyone give some excellent links to clearly written tutorials 
about how to (properly) install software on Linux (especially Fedora)? And 
about that problem of dependencies and rpm package (why isn't it as simple as 
it is on Windows?).
I bought a very nice book: _Fedora Linux Toolbox_, by Chr. Negus & Fr. Caen, 
ISBN 978-0-470-08291-1 ($24.99). But  its level assumes the reader knows all 
that very well.

Thanks for your help.

Orfeo
