Check out this post for details: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01154.html You can try the repositories listed below from my yum.conf file (I picked usherbrooke because it is only one province away from me): [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest exclude=kernel-g5* #[base] #name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Base #baseurl=http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/yum/4.0/base/ # #[updates] #name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Updates #baseurl=http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/yum/4.0/update/ # #[extras] #name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Extras #baseurl=http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/yum/4.0/extras/ [base] name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Base baseurl=http://gulus.usherbrooke.ca/pub/distro/yellowdog/yum/4.0/base/ [updates] name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Updates baseurl=http://gulus.usherbrooke.ca/pub/distro/yellowdog/yum/4.0/update/ [extras] name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Extras baseurl=http://gulus.usherbrooke.ca/pub/distro/yellowdog/yum/4.0/extras/ [freshrpms] name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 FreshRPMs baseurl=http://ayo.uk3.freshrpms.net/yellowdog/4.0/ppc/freshrpms/ [freshrpms_os] name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 FreshRPMs OS baseurl=http://ayo.uk3.freshrpms.net/yellowdog/4.0/ppc/os/ [freshrpms_updates] name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 FreshRPMs Updates baseurl=http://ayo.uk3.freshrpms.net/yellowdog/4.0/ppc/updates/ _______________________________________________ yellowdog-newbie mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-newbie
