[K12OSN] Retrieve DVD Player via Yum

[Jim Kronebusch]

I hate when I find the answer myself minutes after posting to the list.
 
I just found on FreshRPMS a sample yum.conf and pulled the servers from
their list and added it to mine and viola, it worked.  That sure made a
tough project easy, I ran "yum install xine" and it was running in about
5 minutes.  Cool
 
Is there a reason that the LTSP default servers don't have as robust a
library for apps as some others? It sure would have been handy if no
config mods were necessary, but now I know how to solve it.
 
Thanks

Hey Les, I am hoping you can help me with this one based off of your
past email.  I have another box with LTSP 3.1.2 on it and wanted to try
a yum install for Xine on a machine that wan't hosed up with my testing.
However it returns an error saying that there is no program by that name
when I issue "yum install xine".  Is there another yum repository I
should be adding to my yum.conf in order to have a broader program base
than what is in the default?  Maybe this would help me with some of the
problems I have been having.  I tried to add FreshRPMS to the list but I
clearly don't know what the heck I am doing.  >From what I can tell it
is supposed to be available.
 
Thanks
