<h1 id="my-cheatsheet">My cheatsheet</h1>
<p>This is my cheatsheet for setting up distribution using rpm. I am more experienced with distributions using dpkg, so I need this a little in the beginning.</p>
<p><strong>Note on Fedora: install package &quot;yum-plugin-fastestmirror&quot; to always get the fastest mirror!</strong>. It comes with CentOS by default and is like http.debian.net and mirrors.ubuntu.com from Debian side of Linux family.</p>
<p><strong>DO NOT RUN &quot;yum update&quot; NOR &quot;yum upgrade&quot; NOR ANYTHING ELSE WHICH UPGRADES PACKAGES BEFORE SETTING PRIORIZING!</strong></p>

<p>Start by installing dkms from <a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#How_can_I_use_these_extra_packages.3F">EPEL</a>.</p>
<pre><code>rpm -i &lt;package downloaded from EPEL link above&gt;
yum install dkms
yum groupinstall &quot;Development Tools&quot;
yum install kernel-devel</code></pre>
<p>Press HOST + D and cd to the mount point and run the Linux Additions installer.</p>

<p>Using multiple 3rd party repositories (EPEL, RPMforge) is dangerous so you must use priorities to be safe.</p>
<pre><code>yum install yum-plugin-priorities</code></pre>
<p>Ensure that it's enabled by looking at /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf . It should read</p>
<pre><code>[main]
enabled=1</code></pre>
<p>Now the plugin should be working and you must assign priorities.</p>
<p>Edit all .repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d and add</p>
<pre><code>priority=X</code></pre>
<p>to end of every section where X is replaced with actual priority.</p>
<p><a href="http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities">CentOS wiki</a> suggests the following priorities:</p>
<p>CentOS-Base: everything is priority=1 except contrib priority=2</p>
<p>Third party repositories (EPEL,rpmforge) should be &gt; 10 and other should be more preferred than other. I used</p>
<p>epel 10 rpmforge 11 rpmfusion 12 livna 12 (Livna provides only libdvdcss and other packages have been moved to rpmfusion.)</p>
<p>Now you should be able to safely run &quot;yum check-update&quot; and &quot;yum update&quot; or &quot;yum upgrade&quot;.</p>
