Anyone know of a good yum repo to use?
I'm going to try:
ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/i386/
Is this all I need if I want to install updates?
I'm using fc4, and my kernel is a 2.6.13.x (the speakup modified one).
The url I mentioned above appears to just be for extras, so wil I need to
use a different site?
If so, any recommendations?
Thanks,
Jeremy

No, you're way off base.
Extras is not for updates. There are separate repos for updates. Extras
are just that, extra rpms not part of Fedora base.
You should have repos defined in /etc/yum.repos.d, unless your yum is
very old. Your first action, in any case, should be:
yum upgrade yum
In particular, be sure to put:
exclude=kernel kernel-smp kernel-doc
in your /etc/yum.conf, or you'll be wondering what happened to your
Speakup Modified kernel.

Hi,
Can you tell me what repos you use, or can you attach your .repo files in a
message to me?
My yum didn't appear to work, gave errors when I ran it.
Think my .repo files may have been old.

OK. I sent you my /etc/yum.repos.d/* in a tarball.
