For example, this config is good for freshrpms.net: [freshrpms] name=Fedora Linux $releasever - $basearch - freshrpms baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/freshrpms gpgcheck=1 then do: yum install xine AND/OR yum install mplayer -- Jim Kaufman Linux Evangelist public key 0x6D802619 CCNA, CISSP# 65668 --- We will occasionally use this arrow notation unless there is danger of no confusion. -- Ronald Graham, "Rudiments of Ramsey Theory"
