Getting started with packages...

Thanks, that enabled me to install gcc, which in turn enabled me to
bootstrap pkgsrc.  This is useful because yum seems to lack packages
that pkgsrc has (perhaps they're there, but I know how to find them in
pkgsrc).

I would like to build the Blackbox X window manager, but pkgsrc is not
able to find X headers. Are those something that I can fetch with yum?
