Hi Kevin,
I found this info on http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration/
There's a rpmfusion-free package that could be used with RHEL6.0:
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/updates/testing/6/i386/rpmfusion-free-release-6-0.1.noarch.rpm
>> install the fedora "updates" and the rpmfusion-free ...
If you can get updates from RHN, you don't need updates from Fedora "Update"
repo. If you're not using plugins like yum-plugin-priorities.noarch you can
break dependencies very badly.
You can typically get the multimedia applications, etc. for RHEL6 from
rpmforge or rpmfusion.
I wouldn't mess with the core OS packages.
Kind regards,
Greg Wojcieszczuk

Thanks for the great info.
one more question;
I'm currently running Fedora 14 because there are several packages I
really need however I do have an active RH subscription. Here's what I'd
like to do:
1) install RHEL 6 on my laptop ('cause it's stable and it's RH)
2) install the fedora "updates" and the rpmfusion-free repo's so I can
install a few key packages such as:
kmymoney
darktable
digiKam
k3b-extras-freeworld
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Thanks in advance...
