CentOS - Feb 2007 - Still unsure of the Dag Repos for CentOS 3

I have read the Wiki for the Yum stuff, and tried to pay attention to the 
variations for Centos 3/Centos 4 mentioned, but for the life of me, I can't 
seem to get the Dag repo working properly on my CentOS 3 system. I have 
installed the rpmforge rpm, but this doesn't seem to do much. It does 
create(I think it created it) the yum.repos.d folder, and I edited the Dag 
repos file to be enabled. But as I was told before, yum on version 3 does 
not use this folder.

Now I can add the contents of the rpmforge.repo file directly to my 
yum.conf, and make this work, but is this how it is supposed to be 
configured?

The real question is:
How is the rpmforge rpm supposed to work on Centos 3?

Thanks for any clarity.
