I found this ambiguous because I was not sure at this point to what "the dag or dries" referred.
Darn! I should be less ambiguous too? I assume, after some contemplation, that "user" in the URL is to be replaced by "dag" or "dries". I believe that it should not require contemplation to deduce this. Is it just me? Maybe.
Anyway, if the URL's "user" is replaced by "<user>" and then say "... replace <user> with "dag" or "dries" ..." I think my shortcoming is addressed.
And for my final reply to myself...
I actually follow the link and discover the "user" in the URL is literal and the "dag" or "dries" refers to choices at that web site.
So I think that the phrasing should mention that choices of "dag" or dries" will be found there and you can choose ...
rpmforge Download and install the rpmforge-release package. You can find download links here http://rpmforge.net/user/packages/rpmforge-release/ . You can use the dag or dries, they both contain the same files, or just download one of these:
Select the correct package depending on your arch. If you are unsure uname -i?
