Yellow Dog Linux Bug Fix Announcement
-------------------------------------

Package:        GDM
Issue Date:     Nov 19, 2004   
Priority:       low
Advisory ID:    YDU-2004-11-19

1.      Topic:

Updated GDM packages are available.

2.      Problem:

In versions of Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 dated prior to 2004-11-07, the
Graphical Display Manager (or GDM) would crash if a user attempted
to select a language other than the default (English).

3.      Solution:

        a) Updating via yum
        We suggest that you use the yum program to keep your
        system up-to-date. The following command(s) will retrieve
        and install the fixed version of this update onto your system:  
                yum install gdm

        b) Updating manually
                rpm -Fvu [filenames]
