Thanks Don, again. For installed packages, I get:
rpm -qa ivtv* ivtv-firmware-dec-2.02.023-8.at ivtv-kmdl-2.6.12-1.1381_FC3-0.4.2-102.rhfc3.at ivtv-firmware-1.8a-8.at ivtv_xdriver-0.10.6-3.rhfc3.at ivtv-0.4.2-102.rhfc3.at ivtv-firmware-enc-2.04.024-8.at I removed them as you suggested. Then I started with the instructions at http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Howto:Fedora and I get: yum install ivtv-firmware Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments No Match for argument: ivtv-firmware Nothing to do Am I missing something? -Bill Don Gafford wrote: >No problem.
