Configuring Yum in fedora linux

Configuring Yum


You want to change the download source from which Yum gets software.


Edit your download sources in /etc/yum.conf. For example, say you want to use some Fedora mirrors at http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraMirrorList:




University of Southern California, USA


ftp://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/fedora/


http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/fedora/




Now edit /etc/yum.conf, using the default entries as a template:


[base]


name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base


baseurl=http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/$releasever/$basearch/os


baseurl=http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/os
