I find it odd that you had such major problems so quickly, considering
F15 was just released yesterday.  If you were using a F15 pre-release,
well, that could certainly be the explanation of your issues.

As for the package manager being slow, I think it's just a perception
thing.  It also depends on your network connection.  I've found apt to
be slow at times, too.  It all depends what needs to be done, and how
recently you've run it.

I plan to install F15 today once my new hard drive arrives.
