Hi,
I'm trying to install gdesklets, but wont show up on yum. Is there anything wrong with my repositories? Thanks!

Code:

[morton@mortonlx yum.repos.d]$ ls
atrpms.repo  CentOS-Base.repo  CentOS-Media.repo  mirrors-rpmforge  rpmforge.repo
[morton@mortonlx yum.repos.d]$ cat rpmforge.repo

If the package is not in the repositories, it could be that nobody packaged it for your distro. You can either compile from source or look for a Fedora Core 6 rpm.

Thanks! Got it working now, took the srpms from fedora and build it on my system. More details here.
