I have read the Wiki for the Yum stuff, and tried to pay attention to the variations for Centos 3/Centos 4 mentioned, but for the life of me, I can't seem to get the Dag repo working properly on my CentOS 3 system. I have installed the rpmforge rpm, but this doesn't seem to do much. It does create(I think it created it) the yum.repos.d folder, and I edited the Dag repos file to be enabled. But as I was told before, yum on version 3 does not use this folder.
Now I can add the contents of the rpmforge.repo file directly to my yum.conf, and make this work, but is this how it is supposed to be configured?
The real question is: How is the rpmforge rpm supposed to work on Centos 3?
Thanks for any clarity.
