    Repository for CentOS

    Hello,
    I need the help.
    I Have CentOS, and I'm new in Linux.
    I spent very much time during searching after good repository from where I will may to download RPMs.
    One of them I was try is:
    mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=extras-6&arch=$basearch

    I have wrote the following data in /etc/yum.repo.d/fedora.repo:
    ----------------------
    [fc6extras]
    name=Fedora Core 6 Extras
    mirrorlist=http ://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=extras-6&arch=$basearch
    enabled=0
    gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-extras
    gpgcheck=1

    [fc6updates]
    name=Fedora Core 6 Updates
    mirrorlist=http ://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-fc6&arch=$basearch
    enabled=0
    gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-extras
    gpgcheck=1
    -----------------------------

    (with out ---... and there are no spaces in URLs)

    but it don't seems to work...
    May be it not for free...?

    Any suggestions?
    Thenk you for ahead

    All the repos should be enabled by default after you install CentOS, you shouldn't need additional repos. Fedora 6 repo will not work, since fedora 6 is outdated and no longer maintained, most repos will be down and not working. Why do you want to use IE on linux?

    Thank you for reply

    I'm can' t view YouTube on FireFox since problems with incompatibility (I have see only gray square after installing flash player), so I'm want to try to brows YouTube with IE.
    But it is the half of the problem, in future may be I will need to run other WinForm application, so in every case I'm need wine, but it also is not all the problem, because in future I will install other things with yum, and I want to be sure, that I have configured normal repositories which at less have so popular stuff like wine
    When I'm type yum -y install wine that is what I have:
    ------------------------------
    Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities
    Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
    * addons: centos.fastbull.org
    * base: centos.fastbull.org
    * extras: centos.fastbull.org
    * rpmforge: apt.sw.be
    * updates: centos.fastbull.org
    Setting up Install Process
    No package wine available.
    Nothing to do
    --------------------------------

    probably wine isn't available in the repo, because it isn't something that they want to support for a server/workstation distro

    as far as flash goes, it should work on centos5, probably you have done something wrong when installing it or installed swfdec/gnash which is causing problems
