was it always like this for you ? did you try to yum update ?
as root do this
Code:
yum -y updatehowever, as fedora core 2 is no longer supported you may not get much listed
please give us more details and why are you not using fedora core release 4 or 5, 5 is the current release

Ill try to do another yum update..
I'm currently taking a Linux class in school and
Fedora Core2 is the distro they gave us to work with.
Unfortunately it wasn't always like this..
It happened after the school had a power outage.
Even the teacher couldn't figure out what went wrong.
He suggested it has something to do with a free86 file..
Not quite sure what he was talking about. So I decided to look for help
elsewhere.
