The first two steps are "witty remarks" and are optional to using yum:
Optional 1. login to your local PS3 as a user and type yum, try to figure
out the meaning of the options. Type a few to see interesting things.
Optional 2. subscribe to Duke University's yum mailing list.
========
1. Goto the URL http://www.ydl.net/node/58. The page is entitled
"Pointing yum to YDL.net" and should be read a few times.
2. Login to your local machine as root and look at the YDL.net page
in another window.
You see an introduction and three files which you will edit after
creating a directory called /etc/yum/repos.d
3. Edit the files yellowdog-base.repo, yellowdog-extras.repo,
yellowdog-updates.repo per the YDL.net page's instructions
4. my log looks like:

It worked for me.
