EPEL repository for CentOS 5

To make your x64 CentOS more Desktop-friendly
create file "/etc/yum.repos.d/EPEL.repo"


with contest:

[epel]
name=Epel from fedora
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/
gpgcheck=0


From now it is possible to install such applications,that are not available in original CentOS installation,
as Wine,DosBox, fbreader, gnochm, gnokii, gparted, kdiff3, octave and so on.

Priorities plugin for yum should be enabled for that.
