</blockquote><div><br> I have to use a root password for yumex & yum the main repository handlers for Fedora 12. What they are talking about is package kit (which I do not have on my system), that is used by session users to manage packages. So it is not like using YaST (German translation - just another installer) or Synaptic to download packages without a root password. Obviously until implications are further explained and discussions made via the different Fedora mailing lists I really cannot comment any further.<br>
