So I booted the Fedora 7 Live CD, and tried to find out what software
packages were installed.  There is no directory like /usr/src/fedora
or /usr/src/redhat where I would have expected to find .rpm packages.
In fact, there aren't any .rpm packages at all.

# find / -type f -name \*.rpm -print > /tmp/find_rpm    #  finds nothing

Ask rpm what's installed:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] share]# rpm -qa > /tmp/find_rpm
rpmdb: Program version 4.3 doesn't match environment version
error: db4 error(-30974) from dbenv->open: DB_VERSION_MISMATCH:
Database environment version mismatch
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 -  (-30974)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

Not quite ready for prime time.

I tried browsing around the Fedora web site for more guidance.  <
http://fedoraproject.org/ >
Mostly what I could find was advice on how to write things for their
Wiki, and advice on how to submit things to Bugzilla.  No advice
regarding already-reported bugs.

And we try to foist this off on unsuspecting InstallFest customers.
