Some time ago, I added the RPM for Livna. rpm -Uvh http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/4/i386/RPMS.lvn/livna-release-4-0.lvn.2.4.noarch.rpm The above command updated my /etc/yum.repos.d directory. Note: This is definitely an elegant way of adding the yum repo files. Thank you. I was poking around the URL referenced in the livna.repo file http://livna.cat.pdx.edu/fedora/4/i386 and noticed that in additon to the enabled RPMS.lvn and the disabled RPMS.lvn-testing repos, There exist RPMS.updates and RPMS.extras at this site. Are there any good reasons to add or not to add the livna extras and updates to the livna.repo file? Thank you for any insights. Robert E.
