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.
