Humm, unknown to yum, using these repos:
Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Base
Server: Dag APT Repository
Server: Fedora.us Extras (Stable)
Server: Fedora.us Extras (Testing)
Server: Fedora.us Extras (Unstable)
Server: FreshRPMs
Server: Livna.org - Fedora Compatible Packages (stable)
Server: Livna.org - Fedora Compatible Packages (testing)
Server: Livna.org - Fedora Compatible Packages (unstable)
Server: macromedia.mplug.org - Flash Plugin
Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Released Updates
Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Unreleased Updates
And while xemacs claims it can do email, it doesn't mention gnus
anyplace in the pulldowns. Odd.
