Use the CentOS repos. Cent is the RHEL source, built for community use. RHEL is really designed to be used with Red Hat support contract (and all the goodies that come along with that), not with yum.
Find more centos repo info here |
What is it you want to install ?
post a link to it . |
well i have some questions:
1.what does [CentOS5 base] mean? i saw another repo file, where it uses [server]. why? if my pc don't have any internet connection, then what should i write there? 2.what is the purpose of baseurl? is it the url where the installer is? if i don't have any internet connection what will be my repo file's baseurl? 3.what does 'enable=0' means? 4. if i want to install a software do i have to put the installer inside the /root directory or i can use any directory? |
seeing you have redhat enterprise 5. call your already PAID FOR tech support
did you guess enable=0 means OFF enable=1 means ON Quote:
