Re: A good yum.conf file...

[Kyle Pointer <kapointer@charter.net>]

I do believe the gpgkey=URL directive will have yum ( or whatever )
automatically download gpgkey next time you request a package from that
repository. ( it will ask you before it installs the rpms ) 

When he typed cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/<reponame> that was just the
command he used to print his /etc/yum.repos.d/<reponame> file to the
screen. Either he figured that you knew that, or he made a typo. :-) 

The cat command is used to print the contents of a file to standard
output. For example, you have a text file in your home directory you
could:

$ cat /home/bentley/text.txt 
( that is of course assuming your home is /home/bentley )
If you where already in your home directory when you used the cat
command it could just be: 
$ cat text.txt 

But by any means, if you su - to root, and use 
# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/livna.repo 
and paste 
[livna]
 name=Livna.org packages for Fedora Core \$releasever - \$basearch
 baseurl=http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/\$releasever/\$basearch/RPMS.lvn/
 enabled=0
 gpgcheck=1
 gpgkey=http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY-i386
then save the file, it should then be recognized by yum ( and up2date ).

Then you would do the same with the macromedia.repo. 

And just as a note, it might be easier to install the livna repo using
their livna-release rpm. 
Like so - 
# rpm --import http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA/GPG-KEY
# rpm -ivh
http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/4/i386/RPMS.lvn/livna-release-4.0.lvn.2.4.noarch.rpm
( that should all be one line.. ) 
[ Also, that is assuming that you are using fedora core 4 ]

have fun
