Yes. I thought that seemed odd. Thanks for verifying.

OK. It's starting to make sense.

No. I just put in the original FC3 CD #1 I downloaded from CCRMA and
originally installed on my machine and ran autorun to get the "Add or
Remove Packages" window which, after picking "Forward" a couple of times
and picking the "Gnome Software Development" package, for instance,
produced the "Packages Not Found" error.
