<li value="11">We will now look at how we can add different repositories to our '''c7host''' machine.</li><li>As root, issue the following command: <b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.3em;">yum repolist</span></code></b></li><li>Take a few moments to view the contents of the file. Do you see which repositories are used by the '''yum''' command? Write down the repositories in your lab logbook.</li><li>View the following link to see a general listing of repositories:<br>[ [http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories Available Repositories for Centos] ].</li><li>To add the epel repository, issue the command:<br><b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.3em;">sudo yum install epel-release</span></code></b></li><li>To verify that you have added the repository, you can issue the command: <b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.3em;">yum repolist</span></code></b></li><li>Unused and unneeded software can present a security risk and ties up disk space needlessly. Find '''at least 4 other packages''' to remove on your c7host machine(for example: '''sound & video''', '''games''', etc) that you're not using on your system. Be careful to ensure that removing those packages does not also remove other software that you do need.</li>
