Yellow Dog Linux

Yes, those look correct for YDL 6.1 public mirror users.

Is the gpg key, the name I have to give to the file when I save it?

No.

The name to give to the file is the first text by itself, ending in .repo.

So - that would be

yellowdog-base.repo

yellowdog-extras.repo

yellowdog-updates.repo

Thanks, I'll try this whenever I can.

Where do I save the repo files? They just go in my home folder.

They go in /etc/yum.repos.d ... as in:

/etc/yum.repos.d/yellowdog-base.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/yellowdog-updates.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/yellowdog-extras.repo

Note that you must start gedit as root user to save them there, like this:

Code: Select all

su -

(be sure to include the hyphen -- that's important)
<enter root password>

Code: Select all

gedit

Ok everything is working now! Thanks for all your help! Um... Is there a way to set like a system restore point in case it messes up again?
