Hi all,
I've just installed FC5 on a virtual machine (alas, I'm somewhat wedded to
MS). Whenever I try to install an RPM or Add/Remove Software, the
Package Manager kicks back on error message: "Unable to retrieve
software information". Anyone aware of fixes or workarounds to this?
Thanks in advance.

I'm also running FC5 in a VM...but not seeing the problem you describe.
However, it leads me to ask if you have checked to make sure your
system can access the internet since it sounds like a networking issue.
