[Xastir] NOOOBIE with Questions

Hi, I don't know if I entered a root password when I loaded Fedora. I attempt to use terminal and yum command and see langpacks, presto,refresh-packagekit Adding en US to language list - that's where it quits.

Xastir is included in the Fedora repositories. In fact, there's quite a 
bit of ham stuff in Fedora now.
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/14/html/Amateur_Radio_Guide/index.html

Though not always the latest available version - it's easy to install 
Xastir and all it's dependencies with a simple (as root):

yum install xastir

If you want the latest development version - see the "Installation 
Notes" on the Xastir Wiki for Fedora and setup the CVS version of 
Xastir. Once done, it's easy to keep current. There's even a script you 
can add to your cron system to automate updates via CVS.
