Yum looks for all *.repo files and pulls from the repos listed within those files. Within each individual repo file is where you would designate the priority for it. You wont need to alter /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo to alter the priority for freshrpms. Might I suggest the rpmforge repo instead? Check out the following. http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge#head-20e1f65f19ccf2f5fbf5adb30dbaf5ea963a64ae Others might disagree, but I've had good luck with rpmforge. -Brian
