I've had this issue too with a client. I had to drill it into him that
Fedora doesn't ship the source any more. Installing sources (even with
yum) is a pain. We simply installed CentOS 4.4 and it worked out of
the box. My suggestion - Take the effort now and avoid frustration in
the future. Uninstall Fedora and install a server-class OS. Have
money? RHEL. No? CentOS.

NMK.
