i'm kinda newbie in centos.... so clear me something... you say that I must put this entry
#released i386 updates [update-i386] name=CentOS-$releasever - i386 Updates mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=i386&repo=upd... #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/i386/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4 enabled=0 protect=1
in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo , right? is there anything else that i must consider?
I would put it in a separate file, e.g. firefox-i386.repo so that it isn't overwritten with upgrades to the package that owns CentOS-Base.repo. Otherwise, that's all you should need.
Good idea to put it in another file as it may be less confusing, but it should not be necessary to keep it from getting overwritten by an upgrade, which should create CentOS-Base.repo.rpmnew if the file has been modified. Either putting it in CentOS-Base.repo or in a new file will have the same effect.
You're correct, a .rpmnew file would be created, but any changes made in that file would have to be hand applied. Better to let that file get automatically updated and keep your changes in another file, especially for a newbie.
