Well, I just use the GUI interface mainly, so this is probably not much help. I just click on System, Admin, KYum, and update.

Good luck to you, Linux is hard for me to learn.

I only know of three distros that use Yum.... and I'm pretty sure you're not using Yellow Dog Linux. Basically, Suse and Fedora ship with no yum repos set up. All they are is a file in /etc/yum.repos.d that tell yum basic stuff...

Code:

[base]
name=Suse Linux - Base Repository
baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source/suse
#mirrorlist=http://www.personal.uni-jena.de/~p1woro/suse-yum/suse-base.mirrors
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-$releasever/inst-source/pubring.gpg

This is a simple file called suse-base.repo and if there's a file called suse-base.mirrors it will use that as a list of mirrors to try if the base is unavailable. I did a google search for Suse yum repositories and came up with a few good ones. You'll definitely want to add suse-base, suse-extras, and packman. If you're running Fedora, you can get a list of repos from the Myth-TV on Fedora Howto.

Liquidat's Howto for Yum on Suse 10.1
suse-base.repo (right-click and save in the /etc/yum.repos.d folder)
suse-extras.repo (likewise)
suse-update.repo (likewise)
packman.repo (likewise)

Then all you do is type yum update as root and let it do it's work.

When my yum repository is low, I just go buy more Jelly Bellys(TM).
