Well to run yum you have the following syntax:
yum install package
yum remove package
yum update package
Now in Fedora we have what they call:
what provides
this tells you what a package depends on:
So for an example the statement might look like this:
yum whatprovides perl
or the name of the package.
Do you need to know how to install rpm's?
