S/B nothing of interest, but here's a condensed version.

============== Useless/uninteresting lines snipped =====================
[rpmforge] name = Red Hat Enterprise $releasever - RPMforge.net - dag
mirrorlist = http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/mirrors-rpmforge
enabled = 1
gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmforge-dag
gpgcheck = 1
# NEXT LINE WRAPPED - CAREFUL
protect=0 priority=10 includepkgs=bittorrent.noarch, bittorrent-
gui.noarch, python-khashmir.noarch, python-crypto.i386 rtorrent,
libtorrent.i386, libtorrent-devel.i386, libsigc*, mplayer.i386, mplayer-
docs.i386, mplayer-fonts.noarch, mplayerplug-in.i386, aalib.i386,
faac.i386, lame.i386, libXvMCW.i386, libdvdnav.i386, libmad.i386,
libmpcdec.i386, lirc.i386, lzo.i386, openal.i386, x264.i386,
xvidcore.i386, libmp4v2.i386 gkrellm.i386 # mplayer-skins.noarch,
==========================================================================

Some of the above may not be appropriate any more - I've not looked in
awhile.
