In fedora core 1, I want to edit the yum.conf file and add a new link. Is there a way to edit the file with root privilages in a Gnome editor, or do I need to be in a terminal window and use the ed editor (which seems too cryptic). And, how is the yum download started?
Thanks for the help. I was able to edit the file and do a yum install, however not what I was looking for. I am looking for the sound-juicer mp3 encoder. After I did yum, end of line statement: cannot find a package matching gstreamer-plugins-extra-audio. I used the following address in yum.conf http://ayo/freshrpms.net/fedor/linum/$releasever/$basearch/freshrpms Is the encoder available?
That method of running gedit won't work on some distros because they don't allow graphical programs to run unless you are the one who started the x session (there are ways round this). It maybe a good idea to learn the basics of emacs, vim or nano/pico because these are the eitors you will find on most distros or if you cant log into X for some reason.
Yum works fine. I know it works because it spent half an hour updating files from its stock configuration. What I need at this point is the repository for the mp3 enconder so I can use sound juicer to rip music to mp3 format. I am not interested in ogg vorbis. Or just the file name so I can search for it. Thanks again.
THANKS boby for your input. Was looking for a terminal editor that wasn't grpahical coz I was used to pico (which I haven't been able to find in fedora - is it not supported)
Anyway, nano works just as the same so..................THANK YOU

Fedora has nano, which is the gnu version of pico.
