So I was trying to install transcode with Yum and I got a "Nothing to do" message, I really don't know what that all means, someone please explain that to me!
the output on my Fedora Core 3 box is this
[root@localhost zack]# yum install transcode

No Match for argument transcode
Nothing to do
That error means that there is no package called "transcode" in the yum repositories you have configured. You may want to add dags repository to your /etc/yum.conf.
after doing some digging I managed to get an updated yum.conf and when I tried running the yum installer again, I got a different error, here is the output of "yum install transcode"
[root@localhost zack]# yum install transcode

I got a bunch of different mirrors, so hopefully that should work. What am I missing here?
