I want to reconfigure Yum for Oracle Enterprise Linux 5


My OEL5 system is using Oracle Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) for updates. I would like to stop using ULN and use something like Centos or Fedora instead. Any recommendations on how I can do this ?

Thanks

Just uninstall and install Fedora; Is that what you mean, or are you talking about switching to using yum within OEL?

I don't want to uninstall OEL and re-install Fedora. I just want to access an open (I.E Free ) RPM repository from Yum.

Thanks

Do you already have yum on your system? If so, there are quite a few repos online you can use. RPM Fusion comes to mind... http://rpmfusion.org/
