Finally I was able to get it. for all of you who are still having trouble try this. the 1st thing I did was when I turned on my PS3 I inserted the YDL 5.0.1 DVD. I already had everything changed as per the instructions on the first page of the post. First off in the Yum.conf you need to delete the lines in red
What it says from this tutorial:
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=yellowdog-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=0
plugins=1
metadata_expire=1800
[freshrpms]
name=Fresh 4.0 rpms
baseurl=http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/yellowdog/4.0/
# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
name=Yellow Dog Linux 5.0 base
baseurl=http://ydl.osuosl.org/yum/5.0/base/RPMS/
name=Yellow Dog Linux 5.0 updates
baseurl=http://ydl.osuosl.org/yum/5.0/updates/
What it needs to say:
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=yellowdog-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=0
plugins=1
metadata_expire=1800
# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
Then change the Fedora-Extras
What it says from this tutorial:
[fedora-extras]
name=Fedora Extras
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/5/ppc
gpgcheck=0
enabled=0
What it needs to say:
[fedora-extras]
name=Fedora Extras
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/5/ppc
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
Then go to the Terminal and type:
yum search yumex
Then type:
yum install yumex
and finally type:
yumex
After you are finished change the Fedora-Extra.repo back
I found the changes for the yum.conf file and the Fedora-Extra.repo at:

I hope this helps everyone who is still having trouble.
