Hi List;
in the past I've always had to add a KDE repo to /etc/yum.repos.d/ and run
a "yum update" or "yum install <kde stuff>" to get a fully updated system.
Likewise after my initial install I usually had lots of updates to be applied.
Upon installing Fedora 7 I went to the update tool (smart I think) and I only
had a short list of updates.
Is this really the full list of updates to bring my system current?
Yes.
Do I need to add a new repo to yum or smart (or both) to get the latest stable
KDE updates ?
No.
Are there any other useful repos I should add?
This depends. If you need proprietary, patent restricted software then yes.
is the extras repo
automatically added or do I need to add it myself?
Fedora 7 has core and extras repositories merged into a single central
repository so no.
When I did the install I went to the dialog to add additional repositories and
it wanted a url and a name only. I had no clue what url to enter so I skipped
it.
This is only required if you need to select packages from a third party
or custom repository.
