[ATrpms-users] checksum issues

[hondaman]

Ive had this problem for weeks now, and finally I gave up and installed 
"smart"

http://labix.org/smart

Its super simple.  3 easy steps after installing it.

1.  smart install  <--- that will ask you which repos you want to use.
2.  smart update  <--- downloads all the pkg lists from the repos you 
just picked.
3.  smart upgrade  <--- downloads and installs all the packages that 
need updating.

No problems, no hassles.  It just worked.  I'm no pro with this program 
yet, but thats what I did (above) and all is well.  Might just wanna try 
it.  It wont mess with your yum stuff even if you hate it :)
