Look at the files in /etc/yum.repos.d/

Normally, you'd add a new file in there.

Yum will only try to install packages for your platform.  If you 
followed the directions, yum would tell you that no such package was 
available.  It would not, however, tell you that it *was* available for 
other platforms, but not the one that you're running.
