RHCSA exam

hi everyone.
my question is: is there a GUI on the test machine? or is it command line only? the michael jang books explains partitioning with the GUI so i kind of got confused.
thanks.

Beyond that, if you're taking the RHCSA you should know how to add a repo via the shell and not rely on the GUI. One of the exam objectives is to update a machine from the RHN. Plus, adding a bisc local repo isn't really a difficult thing to do.

I try two ways for adding a new repo, and in each case I lose all access to normal packages like bind. No idea what's wrong. I try:
a. In yum.conf adding a line after the baseurl line, with only the url for the new repo, like the Admin Guide says.
b. Adding a new section to yum.conf after the regular one, as such:
[multimedia]
baseurl=http://downloads.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/multimedia/
enable=1
Well, maybe these methods (recommended by the Admin Guide) are just non-functional. It's a mystery. When Debian says something will work, it works. Maybe the only way is to add a file to yum.repos.d. Furthermore, in the files in yum.repos.d, the baseurl is always commented out! Why does it work if the main repo's baseurl is always commented out? Doesn't make sense. Yes, let's do everything backwards and upside down.

Creating .repo config files under /etc/yum.repos.d/ is the standard as lordy mentioned.
From the RHEL 6 documentation it is noted that you can place repos in the /etc/yum.conf file, but I haven't seen this done often.
With your above directives you might try adding the line:
gpgcheck=0
This is insecure but will help for trouble shooting and I would imagine it is enabled in the /etc/yum.conf file (it's done so by default), which would cause your repo check to fail. Have a look at /var/log/yum.log for more information.
