Web hosting reseller - reasons, some legal, so the first thing most
reasons, some legal, so the first thing most people do is go add a bunch ofrepositories to their list. To add some cool repositories, do the following: 1.Point your Web browser to www.fedoratracker.org. 2.Click Repositories. The repository search page appears. 3.In the For Fedora Version drop-down list box, select Release 3.4.In the Show Results As drop-down list box, select Apt/Yum Config Files. 5.Click Submit Query. The tracker searches for all the repositories it knows about for FedoraCore 3.6.Scroll down past the Global Options and Fedora Core Repositoriessections. You already have global options set (to find out more about these, access a command prompt see Chapter 14 if you re not sure how todo so and type man yum.conf). 7.In the sections below the ones you just skipped, select the repositoriesyou want to add. I typically recommend fedora.us and rpm.livna.org(note the warn- ings for users within the US) at the very least, along with Macromedia ssite, which doesn t show up in the tracker. For Macromedia s Flashplugin, hold onto the following information, which you need in Step 12: [macromedia] name=Macromedia Flashgpgcheck=0baseurl=http://sluglug.ucsc.edu/macromedia/apt/fedora/$releasever/ You can ignore the indentations; the indented item is actually part of theline above it. You may want to try other repositories as well. 8.Open a command line terminal. If you re not sure how, see Chapter 14.9.Type su -to temporarily gain root access and then enter your pass- word when prompted or log into the GUI as root. 10.Open the /etc/yum.conffile in your preferred text editor. Chapter 16 covers text editors, if you need help. 11.Go down to the bottom of the file, below all the existing text. 12.Add the required text for the repositories you chose from the trackersite. 248Part III:Getting Up to Speed with Linux
