Dumb Question

Great!  We could use the help testing them.

> How do I set up the yum.conf on my FC1 system to get these updates?

Assuming you know how yum.conf works, it should be fairly easy.  I don't
use FC1, so I'm not sure of the details.  But if there is a single yum.conf
then it would be the same as RHL and would be fairly easy to setup.

Edit your yum.conf, and search on "updates-testing" (but without the quotes).

If there is already an entry for the updates-testing, then you are all set.
If there is one, but it is commented out, then uncomment and you are all set.
If there is not one, then you will need to add an stanza for it.

To add it, add the following to your yum.conf:

[updates-testing]
name=Fedora Core $releasever updates-testing
baseurl=http://download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/$releasever/updates-testing/$basearch

Then you should be all set.

You might also want to see:

http://www.fedoralegacy.org/wiki/index.php/MultipleYumConf

which tells you how you can have two configuration files (one without
updates-testing, one with updates-testing, and then switch between them).

If you need more help then the above, just ask.
