1) Install yumex:
Code:
yum -y install yumex
2) Open yumex, and find the programs you want to install and install them

If you want more information, please give us more details

Yes. Make sure you run it as root.

>> yum install kyum apt synaptic smart smart-gui smart-update <<

All are package managers used to install software from repos, I use Kyum(as a secondary), search for them in that manager, and install it. But I suggest you learn 'yum' too.

I'm using Yumex 1.2.2

1) Select Repos in the left column
2) Right-click the Repos listing
3) Hit New

Then you fill in all the details regarding the particular repo.

Yumex Stoped working on Me. It keeps trying to get the primary file over and over again on startup. Can I uninstall it and then Re-Install it?
