:)   It's good to have a test system if you're going to "experiment"!

Also, this is why there is a WARNING on every system at 
/etc/yum.repos.d/0_WARNING.txt that reads:

WARNING!
========

Do NOT use RPMForge!

Do NOT tie your server into third party YUM repositories UNLESS they are 
certified for BlueOnyx.

Third party YUM repository servers (*especially* RPMforge!) replace 
onboard RPMs with versions that conflict with BlueOnyx. That will then 
break the GUI and will cause service outages.

The damages that this will cause may not be easy to repair.

If you require specific software that's not present in the CentOS5 or 
BlueOnyx YUM repositories,then consider asking for it on the BlueOnyx 
mailing list to check what other peoples experienceswith it are.

The mailing list can be found here:

Thank you.

The warning mentions YUM repositories other than certified for BlueOnyx.

Hint: there aren't any EXCEPT for the ones that come "factory installed" 
on a fresh BlueOnyx box and those that may be added automatically by a 
BlueOnyx package vendor such as Compass Networks or Solarspeed.
