If you go to the directory in the first post you will find both rpms there.
If you are using my ZM-CTU distro you will be able to update the packages via yum once I'm certain there are no issues remaining.

Also an FYI Just in case ,
There is a YUM service that you can start and it will run yum update nightly. I have disabled the FC repos but not removed them so only my repo is checked and updated from. You can use the Fedora repo any time by adding --enable-repo=base --enable-repo=updates-released at any time on the command line and it will use there repo for that one run.

mate i am starting to sound like a pain sorry for that
heres what was preduced

[root@zm ~]# --enable-repo=base --enable-repo=updates-released
-bash: --enable-repo=base: command not found
[root@zm ~]# --enable-repo=base
-bash: --enable-repo=base: command not found
[root@zm ~]# enable-repo=base
-bash: enable-repo=base: command not found

i think i am doing something wrong

off topic is vnc easy to set up so i can vnc into my desktop on my box at and time

marty webmin is the way forward, i found it as ross included it on his live cd and now i couldnt liv without it, not quite as good as vnc but it works just install the rpm and its there
Great thing it really is (give you a command line thing so you can do virtually anything)

The correct syntax is:
yum --enable-repo=base --enable-repo=updates-released update
That line will update all packages in the system using fedoras packages.
Disclaimer:
Although I have yet to have anything break, I don't suggest this unless you are ready to deal with any issues that might arise. I can't promise that it will not break. Thats the reason I disabled the repo's in the first place but left them available for advanced users.

You can do just a
yum update
and that will update what I have available and tested on my servers. This is the sugested method.
