Description Doug Gack 2008-11-13 19:08:58 CET
I am running CentOS 5.2.  An attempt to add the free repository fails with a message that 8 or higher is required.  I assume that indicates Fedora 8.  As I read the web site, it should also work with Red Hat and derivatives.?

p.s., works fine with Fedora 8 and 9!

Doug

Then you are using the repo files for Fedora on CentOS; that's a bad idea. You need to do this:

Out docs likely need to be improved to reflect this, hence leaving this bug open as reminder

I'm running on a Via Mini-ITX mobo.
  I tried using I386, instead of x86-64, but no go.

As staten in that blog entry: RPM Fusion for EL requires EPEL; hence you need to enable EPEL bevore you can enable RPM Fusion for EL:
