Description of problem: I'm working with a new install of Fedora 8. On initial
boot, I got a message that it could not update, check network connection and
update settings. Network is fine. When I try to run update from the start menu,
it crashes the program (not the system) with the attached dump. 

Beyond that, I really have no idea what is happening. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Applications>System Tools>Software Updater -- Enter Admin PW
2. CRASH! 
3. "An unhandled exception has occurred. This is most likely a bug. Please save
the crash dump and file a detailed big report against pirut at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla"

===============================================

By the way, you really need to make bug reporting easier. The vast majority of
people would have either (1) been intimidated and simply quit or (2) been
frustrated and simply quit or (3) been hopelessly confused and simply quit.
You've made it virutally impenetrable. People are doing you a FAVOR in reporting
a bug but you make them register then navigate through layers of menus. Take a
tip from the folks in Redmond. They just say "Can we please send the dump?"
That's it. You're shooting yourselves in the foot here. 

Good luck fixing this. I'd really sort of like to somehow update my system. 


=========================

OH COME ON PEOPLE! Now it says I have to choose a component. I don't even know
what a component is, for pete's sake. You are making this HARD. If you want
people to help, you need to make it easy. This is certainly the last time I'll
bother to file a bug report. Sheesh!
