Many people will find it handy to have MS TrueType fonts available to make sure many websites render correctly. You can download the latest RPM from http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc5.html#ttf and install it as follows:
# wget –referer=http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc6.html \ http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/files/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm# rpm -ihv msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm# /etc/init.d/xfs restart

It appears that the RPM database needs rebuilding if a yum process is killedprematurely, since it probably had the RPM db open and now it’s in an inconsistentstate.
The steps :

Kill all yum and rpm processes.
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
rpm –rebuilddb (add -vv if you want to see what it’s doing)
Retry yum update.

# yum install wmctrl# perl -MCPAN -e shell; install X11::WMCtrl
Then use my ‘LoadWS.pm’ script to dynamically load and position sets of windows based upon the programming environment required…
