  which yum.conf did you use ?  A URL?

  I used atrpms apt-get sources list to build a 
Television/Multimedia/MythTV box from K12LTSP 4.0 and it works ok'ish,
but it was fairly invasive.

  OT - BTW MythTV and/or TVTime is awesome, especially on my 21"
Trinitron monitor.

I used the following:
[os]
name=Red Hat Linux $releasever - $basearch - os
baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/redhat/$releasever/$basearch/os

[updates]
name=Red Hat Linux $releasever - $basearch - updates
baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/redhat/$releasever/$basearch/updates

[freshrpms]
name=Red Hat Linux $releasever - $basearch - freshrpms
baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/redhat/$releasever/$basearch/freshrpms

Not sure if it is right, but it seemed to work.
