I am working on installing Freemind (http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) on my new notebook. And it is not working... I downloaded all the rpms and put them into my local repo, enabled the jpackages repos then, well here is what is happening: yum install freemind* jcalendar* jgoodies-forms* Loading "installonlyn" plugin Loading "priorities" plugin Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files 429 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.
