Re: anyone else want "easy fedora"

I did a yum groupinstall base after using the above repos.

Before doing that, did you try a yum groupinstall --skipbroken update ?

You have to rebuild the database and then edit your repo files to get yum working.

Re: Maemo 5 | Nitdroid | MeeGo | Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated

Is there any reason why we have to use the new Multiboot with the new power kernel? Why can't we just use the old version, 0.2.5?
