Hi,

thanks for the Post , well i have already tried the step

installing RPMforge should give us a .repo file in /etc/yum.repo.d but there is none

The two files for /etc/yum.repos.d/
are attached.

Please rename to mirrors-rpmforge , rpmforge.repo
....
....
P.S.: The package can be unpacked with
rpm2cpio rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm | cpio -idmv
