You typically must be root to do this. --- cut below --- [livna-stable] name=Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages (stable) baseurl= http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/yum/stable gpgcheck=1 [livna-unstable] name=Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages (unstable) baseurl=http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/yum/unstable gpgcheck=1 [livna-testing] name=Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages (testing) baseurl=http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/yum/testing gpgcheck=1 --- cut above --- 2. If you are using up2date, add these lines to /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources. You typically must be root to do this. --- cut below --- yum livna-stable-fc1 http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/1/i386/yum/stable yum livna-testing-fc1 http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/1/i386/yum/testing yum livna-unstable-fc1 http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/1/i386/yum/unstable --- cut above --- 3. If you did #1, become root (su -), and type yum install xmms-mp3. 4. If you did #2, become root (su -), and type up2date -u xmms-mp3. 5. Enjoy your MP3s.
