Hi I have 2 machines with RHEL 5.2 and I would like to use CentOS repos. I would like to know if the document "Using CentOS Repositories on RHEL Machines"[1] can be used in CentOS 5.2 without too much modifications. Thanks Marcelo [1] http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PackageManagement/YumOnRHEL

Just add your repo definitions into your /etc/yum.repos.d directory. The only limitation I have been able to see with RHEL's yum is the lack of the priorities plugin. You can use protectbase as a replacement. If I get a chance today, maybe I'll try to update that wiki page.
