Hi Paul!

I no longer have the 4.1 listings however all available YDL repos are within
the official YDL mirrors which are listed here:

http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/resources/downloads.shtml

Essentially just point your version of yum.conf to the repos in any mirror to
enable yum to "see" it.

Regarding YDL 5, it may be more convenient for you to use the tools available,
which means pirut or Package Manager.  Click upon the Search button, then enter:

synaptic

then press the button on the right to initiate a search for that term.  You'll
see that something with the synaptic name pops right up.

Remember that you can also click upon Browse or List

Regarding yum and accessing more of it's features, do:

$man yum

or 

$info yum

Good Luck...
