[CentALT]
name=CentALT Packages for Enterprise Linux 5 - $basearch
mirrorlist = file:///etc/yum.repos.d/mirrors-centalt
#baseurl=http://mirror.sysadminguide.net/centalt/repository/centos/5/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

2. Create new file /etc/yum.repos.d/mirrors-centalt and put following info inside

http://mirror.sysadminguide.net/centalt/repository/centos/5/$basearch/
http://centos.alt.ru/repository/centos/5/$basearch/
