and this is what DAG's FAQ (found at

is attempting to teach me:

advanced features like pinning and scripting. It also requires at least 128MB RAM to work
properly and doesn't have a graphical front-end yet.

I have installed yum but...I am not sure how to "add the following section to
/etc/yum.conf:"
what is the command to do so?
and following the command, do i type
"[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Fedora Core
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag"
all on one line, verbatim, in my terminal?
I know that i am an obvious wannabe but if anyone's bored enough i'd love the
help
Edit the "/etc/yum.conf" file. Add:
[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Fedora Core
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
to the end of that file. Use the entries already in the file as
examples.
