Why not be on topic and use the RPMforge mailinglists ?
Fact is that the yum that comes with RHEL3 does not allow to dump a
config-file in a directory and I'm not going to rewrite the existing
yum.conf to enable RPMforge automatically because that is a dangerous
thing to do.
If you would have been using apt, it would work automatically on all
distributions.
