    You're doing better than I am.  I just loaded FC4, got the latest
and greatest apt stuff, modified the sources.list file to say 4 instead
of 2 (since I couldn't find a link for a FC 4 specific sources.list),
and I get the following:

[root@eviltwin ~]# apt-get update

Is there some better documentation for doing FC4?
