Anyone want to recommend some good yum sites for FC5? I get a lot of

What is it you are trying to do? If you are running "yum update" and you get "nothing to do" it just means there are no updates for the packages already installed on your system.

If you have done a "yum install some-package-name" and you get a "nothing to do" it means you didn't give it a valid package name for something in your set of repositories.

If you need to see what packages are available for installation, I suggest using yumex, which is a GUI package tool.

For additional package repositories in order of preference, I recommend freshrpms <http://freshrpms.net>, ATrpms <http://atrpms.net> (those two cooperate) and Livna <http://rpm.livna.org>. Be careful of mixing packages from the unofficial sites because sometimes they have almost but not quite the same files/capabilities.
