hi,

Specify the problem you are facing.

It is quiet easy to create repo in redhat

eg:
edit the /etc/yum.conf and append the following lines

[dries]
name=Extra Fedora rpms dries - $releasever - $basearch
#baseurl=http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/redhat/el4/en/i386/dries/RPMS
baseurl=ftp://ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/redhat/el4/en/x86_64/dries/RPMS

this will add dries repo..

Or you can create a separate file with the same content and put it in /etc/yum.repos.d/

Is that a local or remote rpm(?) Package repository?
