Well, heres the thing - I never do an _update_ on any repository apart from the official Fedora Core [core] and [updates] (think that might now be [base] and [released-updates]). So my yum.conf is as supplied, with mirrors added. Other repos are in yum_other.conf: $ sudo yum -c /etc/yum_others.conf check-update Password: Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 2 ATrpms good Server: Fedora Core 2 ATrpms stable Server: Fedora Core 2 ATrpms testing Server: Fedora Core 2 Dag Wieers repository Server: Dries repository for Fedora Core 2 Server: Fedora Linux (stable) for Fedora Core 2 -- Fedora US mirror Server: Fedora Core 2 -- Fedora US mirror Server: Fedora Core 2 updates -- Fedora US mirror Server: Fedora Linux 2 - i386 - freshrpms Server: Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages (stable) Server: Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages (testing) Server: Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages (unstable) Server: Macromedia Flash Plugin with redistribution limitations Server: Mozilla SeaMonkey Releases Server: Fedora Core 2 NewRPMS.sunsite.dk Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers And install/update individual packages with this .conf or individual .conf for each repo, depending on whether I think there is a potential conflict, or I have some (most-likely unfounded) bias for choosing a package from a particular repo. This maybe unnecessarily cautious and maybe an update on these repos would be fine; I just like having the flexibility. C.
