Thanks. I use rpm and yum (command line) frequently. But I don't use
the graphical tools very often, so yumex was new to me. Is it just a
front-end to yum, and is there anything that yumex does that yum can't?
These repositories locations are defined in *.repo files that can be found
in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory, and they are plain text files.
Normally, adding yum repositories is not too hard; but I'm not very
familiar with which repositories exist and which ones I should try using.
You mentioned the RPM Fusion repositories; where do I find out
more about that?
However, that's fine for an already-running system. But I'm not aware
of how to configure any of this when booting from the F11 DVD. How
in the install/upgrade process can you tell it to do something different?

Thanks for the link. I was vaguely aware of some of that, but it
is interesting nonetheless.
As far as I can tell you probably need to configure for the old nv video
drivers rather than the nouveau ones it's trying to use.
Agreed, either that or somehow get it to use a newer/fixed version
somehow (which I hope is fixed by F12).
Hope these pointers help you resolve your problems.
Thanks again

To enable access to both the free and the nonfree repository use the
following command:
*
Fedora 10 or 11:
su -c 'rpm -Uvh
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm'
*
Fedora Alpha, Beta, Preview, Rawhide, RC, Snapshot aka. what will
become Fedora 12:
su -c 'rpm -Uvh
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm'
*
RHEL5 or compatible like CentOS:
su -c 'rpm -Uvh
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/updates/testing/5/i386/rpmfusion-free-release-5-0.1.noarch.rpm
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/updates/testing/5/i386/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-5-0.1.noarch.rpm'
-----------------------------------------/
The Fedora and RPM Fusion repo repository settings rely on settings set
up by the relevant release RPM, like the one below
fedora-release-11-1.noarch.rpm
Yumex captures the output from yum and therefore makes it easier to see
what has occurred and so decide what to do next. Naturally yum gives you
better access to all it's features.
Another application you may find useful is createrepo which as the name
suggests helps you to create your own repository.
Try searching the web, it's all there somewhere.
