I was still deciding however<br \/>\nto possibly go back to Fedora 8 or hope someone came up with a nice<br \/>\nupdate of Packagekit or the Pirut Fedora 9 bits or start using the<br \/>\nFedora 8 Pirut bits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\">\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\">Thanks to the post by Autostatic<br \/>\npointing to the Fedora 9 bits I can patiently await the new<br \/>\nPackagekit when its fully functional<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\">\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\" align=\"center\"><font size=\"4\"><b>Pirut on<br \/>\nFedora 9 <\/b><\/font>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\" align=\"center\">\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\" align=\"left\">Pirut<br \/>\nseems to be working fine in Fedora 9 so far. Pirut asks if you want<br \/>\nto install source channels for Fedora 8.92 (beta sources possibly)<br \/>\nbut I said no. Pirut works fine after that and of course you can edit<br \/>\nout any sources later in \u201cSoftware Package Manager\u201d. I have been<br \/>\nunable to get this version of Pirut \u201cSoftware Package Manager\u201d to<br \/>\nshow available software from the repositories though.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\" align=\"left\">\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\" align=\"center\"><font size=\"4\"><b>Synaptic<br \/>\nPackage Manager<\/b><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\" align=\"center\">\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\" align=\"left\"><font size=\"3\">\tWhile<br \/>\nlooking for Pirut\/Software Package Manager in the programs section I<br \/>\nfound \u201cSynaptic Package Manager\u201d!
