Are you sure you just entered Y and nothing else (spaces, tabs, etc.)?

[nightsbird]

yes i actually restarted the whole installation just to make sure it did the exact same thing

[falko]

Do you use PuTTY ( http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html ) to connect to your server?

[nightsbird]

yep sure do that and winscp they work wonderful

[falko]

Did you maybe copy & paste more than one command at a time from the tutorial to your PuTTY window, like an apt-get comand followed by some other command? apt-get doesn't like that, you should copy & paste apt-get commands only one by one.

silly question I know, but does apt-get work in fedora or is it yum.:confused:

[Ben]

well I normaly use yum on my centos / fedora, but I guess apt should work as well.

Either you try with yum or try

apt-get install -y ... to autmatically force installing the stuff, that would ignore anything beeing in you clipboard as falko suggested.

[falko]

You can install apt-get on Fedora like this:
yum install apt-get (maybe it's also yum install apt, I don't remember for sure...).

[nightsbird]

Look in the Fedora core 3 tutorial it says how cant remember exactly

I had the same problem. It seems like it doesn't like it when you use a capital "Y". Try using a small "y", it worked for me

[nightsbird]

I actually solved the problem it was the fact that i wasnt copying line by line after all .. it was picking up the <CR> embedded when copied
