When I see questions with no capitalization and abbreviations like you've typed above, I think it's like you are saying, 'My time is valuable, yours is not.' How much extra effort to type 'Can someone', making your question easy to read? Two things: I think you want to use the command yum groupinstall 'Electronic Lab' or yum groupinstall electronic-lab and there is something wrong with the repository you are pointing to. Try using a different repository. I just point to the main Fedora repositories in my /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo file and it worked fine. I was able to run this command successfully (it wanted to install 154 MB of packages). This is the meta mirror my fedora.repo file points to: mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

In his first sentence he did capitalize "I", "Electronic Labs" and gave the relevant error message info. So, he isn't lazy. Also, he didn't write "I tried to install X and it didn't work. What should I do?". AFAICT, he committed the "horrible" act of not capitalizing "can" and reverted to cell phone texting style and wrote "sum1". (Proper English would have been "some1"?). Did he really deserve to be called out on such minor transgressions when others have done far worse? Now, I could see your getting upset with what seems to be his obsession with Crickets :-) -- Good night to spend with family, but avoid arguments with your mate's new lover. mei-mei.gres...@greshko.com http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=cCSz_koUhSg signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Zero strikes, you're out. :-) You'll notice that I don't respond to those far worse posts. Hm. Maybe they're better off. LOL Hey, I agree with you that he didn't do so badly. After all, I did answer his question. But the time to correct them is not when the habit has become entrenched and is in full flower, but while it is still becoming established. ;-) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
