Questions about Fedora 14 Workstation
Just downloaded the .iso and installed it on my desktop. Really nice! The repositories seem to be a bit limited, though. No Chrome or Chromium, but I've installed it directly from Google's download page. And I need the program gpart in order to attempt a data rescue on an external drive. Not in the repositories, either. Can someone point me to a repo I can add so that gpart is available? Thanks. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
