add repositories??!!?
 

is it possible to add new repositories to yum and apt??
i mean sites where yum checks for updates and packages??
where and how do i add them??

Try Dag:

edit(as root) /etc/apt/sources.list (or use /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dag.list)

add(press Insert)

### Dag RPM Repository for Fedora Core 2
rpm http://apt.sw.be fedora/2/en/i386 dag

press Esc
type :wq! to save and quit vi.

type apt-get update and that's it.

Ps: This is for apt/synaptic
If you don't have it installed already, type:
next
and
to install synaptic:
You should now have it in your menu under 'system tools'.

This maybe different on other distros but with FC1 use the command: apt-get mirror-select. That will walk you through the process of selecting which locations you wish to download the apt-get packages from. This list is also used by synaptic which is a GUI tool for apt.

I don't know about yum as I haven't looked into adding source lists for that yet.

here is what i get:
[ilectrcbob@chello080109018131 RPM]$ rpm -Uvh apt-0.5.15cnc6-1.1.fc2.fr.i386.rpm
warning: apt-0.5.15cnc6-1.1.fc2.fr.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e42d547b
