1)	Open smart
2)	Select "Edit/Channels"
3) 	Click on "New" button
4)	Leave default radio button "Provide Channel Information" selected
5) 	Click "OK"
6)	Select "RPM Metadata" radiobutton
7)	Click "OK"
8)	Enter "remi" in the "name" field
9)	Enter "remi" in the alias field 
10)	Enter "http://remi.collet.free.fr/rpms/fc6.i386/" in the "Base URL" field
11)  Click OK

Done!

 - this is the quick and simple method - there are lots of options you can 
set, you can change the alias, and so forth, but this will create the channel 
for you. After you've downloaded the FF2 from his repo, I would suggest going 
into "Edit/Channels" and unchecking the remi repo box - leave it off except 
when you want to update your FF2 or for other purposeful reasons.
