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.
