It depends on what OS i'm on. I use yum on FC2/AMD64 (does NOT use 
sources.list) and Synaptic/apt for FC2/i686.

the synaptic app has a nice way of configuring the repositories. It's 
easy to configure.
I'd start there. I'm sure many here will reply with their favorite repos 
from p.c. to freshrpms.net

 <pre wrap="">Hi,
 None music question. I'm setting up my son's Christmas computer and
wondering how people go about getting new packages installed for
non-music applications.

   Is there a way to point apt/Synaptic at some other repositories
that have RPMs for FC2? I don't want to download RPMs and go back into
dependency hell.

   Do you only use the original CDs?

   Some other way?

   How do you all get new stuff downloaded when it's a non-Planet app?

Thanks,
Mark
