I would also strongly recommend to disable all external repos per default! What I would do:

1. Install extra repo config files with

yum install yum-conf-elrepo yum-conf-epel yum-conf-adobe yum-conf-atrpms yum-conf-rpmforge

2. Disable all repos (enabled=0). But not the sl ones!

cd /etc/yum.repos.d
find . -name "*.repo" ! -name "sl*.repo" -exec sed -i.bak "s|^enabled.*|enabled=0|" {} \;

For example search now for flash-plugin:

yum --enablerepo=\* list | grep flash-plugin

Install flash-plugin

yum --enablerepo=rpmforge install flash-plugin


One important remark:

If you have disabled rpmforge, flash-plugin will not be updated by

yum update

In order to update flash-plugin you have to run

yum --enablerepo=rpmforge update flash-plugin
