Star Repository contents

ELRepo contains 2 channels. You can browse the contents by clicking on the name.

elrepo

elrepo is the default channel and contains a variety of kmod kernel driver packages to enhance hardware support for Enterprise Linux. This channel is disabled by default and may be enabled in /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo or used with 'yum --enablerepo=elrepo'.

For example, to install kmod-r8168 Realtek r8168 nic driver from the elrepo channel:
yum --enablerepo=elrepo install kmod-r8168

Depending on the package being installed or the repository setup, it might be necessary to disable non-elrepo repositories:
yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo install nvidia-x11-drv

elrepo-testing

The elrepo-testing channel provides testing packages yet to be released to the main elrepo channel and is disabled by default. The channel may be enabled in /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo or used with 'yum --enablerepo=elrepo-testing'.
