How then would I instruct yum to go do the right thing and get me a FC3

new Myth box.)
I don't think you really want a FC3 package for FC4. What you really
want is a Xine package for and from FC4.
The Fedora Core distribution has dropped more and more apps with each
release. This reduction has been significant in FC4 as was promised by
the dev team. The reason give was so that the full distribution would
still fit on only four CD's. The motivation for that is up for debate.
In any case, fortunately, Xine was not one of the casualties.
Alternate question: I'm perfectly happy to compile xine and all its
necessary dependencies for this box. Why not? BUT (big *but*) I'd sure
like to know what code packages I have to download to satisfy all the
dependencies. Can yum tell me that?
I wish I had a brain ...
Once you are pointing to the proper repositories,
yum install xine*
should work fine.
Here are the functional parts on my FC3 system. They should work fine in
FC4 also.
