> Alright, patience is the key I guess. Now it works! Thanks. At normal circumstances the linux distridution file should be found at some first (8-10) attempts. If it takes more than it's a sign that a new distribution accured. But some sites just didn't update their files so far. And reports (like your original letter) help us to keep linux ports up-to-date. Now the most recent compat-db distribution for FC4 merged to the port. Thanks for the report!
