Starting point

[Marc Flamank]

Hi All,
 
Complete newbie to Dell & the wonderfull world of its system management.
 
Was told by a busy predecessor use the yum repo its gone production.
 
I have added the repo (wget ...),  turned off other repos (enabled=0) on
my 
 
    Centos 5.2, poweredge 2950 
 
and listed everything not installed, but I do not know which of these
packages
to use.
