When I added the Xautoconfig package as per Dan's recommendation, I did it the old fashioned way.

mount /dev/cdrom

cd /mnt/cdrom

cd /YellowDog/ppc

rpm -Uvh Xautoconfig..blah...blah

cd /

umount /dev/cdrom

eject /dev/cdrom :)

(sans smiley, of course)

I like the new RPM managers though.  Does yup have a GUI front end of any sort?
