Semi newbie question Read-Only

[David C. Hacker, DVM]

Sorry I need to update the FAQ.  First you have to just add a new line  
to your old yum.conf file for freshrpms
http://ayo.freshrpms.net/yellowdog/3.0/ppc/freshrpms/
Then do a yum update yum.  This will give you version 2 of yum which  
can use the new yum.conf file.  I had forgotten that the original yum  
wouldn't read the links with ? marks in them.  Sorry.  Once you install  
the new yum.  Use the yum.conf from the FAQ and do yum update and you  
will get the new kernel and all other updates.
