It’s very easy. Just install the latest rpmforge-release package for your distribution and architecture.
This will automatically install the configuration and GPG keys that are for safely installing RPMforge packages.
The configuration of Yum is inside the rpmforge-release package.
You need to install it yourself.
If you’ve done that, the rest is simple. Upgrade your system by doing:
yum update
You can add new software by typing:
yum install [name of package]
Or update installed software:
yum update [name of package]
Or search for software in the local repository meta-data:
yum search [keyword]
Or simply list all available software:
yum list available
From time to time you may want to save some diskspace:
yum clean
