Go to this link:
http://www.atrpms.net/install.html
This shows you how to modify your existing yum.conf file to use
atrpms.net as a resource.
Basically you need to add this to the bottom of your /etc/yum.conf file:
| [at-stable]
name=ATrpms for Fedora Core $releasever stable
baseurl=http://apt.physik.fu-berlin.de/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/at-stable
|
