August 3, 2008 | 387 views | Filed Under Fedora, Linux

Last night i am trying install fedora 9 and i choose Gnome for Desktop. After installation finish my VGA not detect properly and must install from Livna repository ( like few month ago).

Usualy , i am updating some program for my Desktop from repo. but don’t forget if you have slowly connection please change your repository. because of i am living in Indonesia i use Telkom and kambing for update some program except livna repo

For connect to local repo please make file local.mirror on /etc/yum.repos.d

# local mirror list
http://dl2.foss-id.web.id/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/

And for Update make file local_update.mirror on /etc/yum.repos.d

#update mirror local
http://dl2.foss-id.web.id/fedora/linux/updates/$releasever/$basearch/

After that add mirrorlist=file:///etc/yum.repos.d/local.mirror and mirrorlist=file:///etc/yum.repos.d/local_update.mirror on your fedora.repo and fedora-updates.repo :

Fedora.repo

[fedora]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch
