After installing Fedora Core 5 we have a lot of software already available, thanks to Fedora Extras. But unfortunately some software is not packaged by Fedora Extras guys, so we can add a few extra repositories to increase the available software to install (and to increase the possibilities of breaking everything for a dependency problem).

The repositories I recomende are:

Freshrpms
Dries

And adding Livna and ATrpms, but both disabled by default, some software from these repos is incompatible from above repos.

Freshrpms
Adding freshrpms repo is easy. Download freshrpms-release from

http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/5/freshrpms-release/

(latest version is freshrpms-release-1.1-1.fc.noarch.rpm). And install it.

Dries

Add the following

[dries]
name=Extra Fedora rpms dries - $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=
http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/
 fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/dries/RPMS/
enabled=0


The URL must be all on a single line.

to a file called dries.repo into /etc/yum.repos.d/. Look for a near mirror.
