Howto install software, for example cfdisk under Gnome on CentOS 5.5?

Re: Install software under Gnome
Just use yum.
You might want to check out some of the links in my signature, they're often helpful in aiding folks to find information.
I don't run Gnome, so I'm not absolutely certain, but there may be an Add Remove Software menu, either under applications or possibly Administration.
You can also open a terminal (Applications, System Tools, Terminal) and type in
yum install yumex
(using either sudo, if you have it set up, or else doing an su to root first).
Then, you can use yumex as your graphical package manager.
EDIT
By the way, I believe cfdisk is only available from rpmforge. You can check out using that---there's an article on the wiki at wiki.centos.org under the howto section.

Re: Install software under Gnome
Thx a lot, but cannot find using Add/Remove Software or yum:
[code]
# cfdisk
bash: cfdisk: command not found
# yum install cfdisk
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* addons: mirror.switch.ch
* base: mirror.switch.ch
* extras: mirror.switch.ch
* updates: mirror.switch.ch
Setting up Install Process
No package cfdisk available.
Nothing to do[/code]

Re: Install software under Gnome
I've installed rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm from:
http://rpmforge.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
then I have done:[code]
# yum install yum-priorities[/code]
and hope is OK.

Re: Install software under Gnome
Note that none of the repositories (AFAIK) does define priorities by default.
Therefore, you should edit the /etc/yum.repos.d/*.conf as desired.

Thx, but can you pls give some more details?
I'm new on CentOS.
Is already installed rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm wrong and should be removed?

Re: Install software under Gnome
I've removed rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm and installed rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm.
Now i have using getinfo.sh package:

Re: Install software under Gnome
You still have no priorities defined. In each repo definition section in /yum.repos.d/*.repo (such as [base] [updates] [extras] ...) you need to insert a line "priority=N" where 1 <= N <= 99. No such line is the same as "priority=99" the lowest. Highest priority number is the lowest priority, the lowest number is "best" as in golf scores.
