    I brought my One today, I enabled the advanced menu and went into the yum front end where I added and removed some packages which resulted in me loosing the program. After seaching the web for a bit I found what the front end was called.

    I do not know if this is the right placed to put this information, but I could not find a wiki on the site to put it in, so to save future users the annoyance of having to re-install as they are at a lost to what happened, I thought I would put my solution here as I could not find one.

    First, load up a terminal by either using
    Alt + F2 and type xterm
    or
    Bring up the advanced menu and choose terminal

    Then, in the terminal type in
    Su root
    then enter your password that you chose when stated of
    Afterwards type in
    yum install pirut
    then a load of text will come up and then when prompted put in 'y' and then press enter. It then will install Pirut again, and it will appear on the advanced menu.

    Hope this helps someone :)
