I should change this to OT, as it's not really CentOS related. I had a post on the list last week asking how the rpmforge rpm was to be implemented in yum. Craig White was kind enough to list how his yum.conf is appended, I assume after he installed the rpm. Unfortunately, mine is not appended with these lines. I am running CentOS 3. I will add these lines manually, and probably remove the yum.repos.d folder. This could be related to the fact that this was an upgraded Tao machine, and I had to remove and reinstall the yum rpms as the centosplus repos were also not in the conf file, but the main repos for Centos were there. I just wanted to let people know that installing the rpmforge rpm doesn't seem to work all the time. It seems to think that I have a CentOS 4 version of yum, so it creates the extra repos folder, adds the mirrors and conf files under the repos folder and does not append the yum.conf with the repository info. I have probably done something improper along the Tao->Centos upgrade path, but I am not sure what. Thanks for all of the help. Steve Campbell campbell at cnpapers.com Charleston Newspapers
