With invaluable help here, I've just gotten 6.0 onto a PC. I went through the listings in PackageKit, removing things I know I'll never use; ran yum update; installed Opera; went to the epel, rpmfusion, and one whose name slips my mind (It's a new name.); enabled them all; and tried to get a lot of my regular apps : [....] Setting up Install Process No package dillo available. No package epiphany available. No package galeon available. No package midori available. No package privoxy available. No package seamonkey available. Error: Nothing to do [root@localhost ~]#
Does this mean I have to go chugging all over the web, digging out one (hopefully not quite obsolete) rpm after another? Is there no easier way??

None of these is packaged by any reputable 3rd party repo that I can see; privoxy used to be in base but upstream dropped it in EL6.
It may be possible to rebuild the fedora versions but I greatly suspect that there will be a significant issue with the necessary dependencies for most of those apps.

I see I have dillo rpm. I don't remember where or how I got the spec though.
Ah, OK, I got it at http://www.hyperborea.org/software/
Whether that was recommended to me or I just found it, tested it on a throwaway VM and found it was OK, I don't know.
Pretty sure it just rebuilt without issues though.

How odd! Dillo in particular is both faster and safer than any other browser I know of. So I make it my default -- and think twice about any site it refuses to deal with.
How about Arora, Kazehakase,and Rekonq? Yum doesn't get them, either.
And what do CentOS people do for a newsreader? I can't get by without Gmane .... How about a proxy??

Hmm... maybe I should look at it, rather than the way everyone pushes chrome at me.... <snip>

knode (KDE app) works jes' fine for newsreading, and of course t-bird works, also (though I far prefer knode's key bindings).

You are special case user, not many even heard of those apps, let alone use them.
Thunderbird is decent news reader. There is rather old version in base repo and 8.0.1 in Remi's repository (I am glad he decided to package them for EL 6 also, I had to rebuild his packages my self for my own repo).

Probably true, for now. But the Baby Boomers have been following me at a remove of two to five years since they were born; y'all're likely to be seeing more ere long.
