Hi,
These are the commands that I ran.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root at dhcppc0 etc]# mv -f yum.conf.bak yum.conf
[root at dhcppc0 etc]# cd
[root at dhcppc0 ~]# rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-5.rpm
Retrieving http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-5.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
        package livna-release-5-4 is already installed
[root at dhcppc0 ~]# rpm -ql livna-release
/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-livna
/etc/yum.repos.d/livna-devel.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/livna-testing.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/livna.repo
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did that straighten it out? Or did that just straighten out the livna
configuration? I don''t understand this : "> And install repositories
in the recommended way; either manually create
