Drop yum in favor of apt, which already handles multiple sources. Problem solved.

What does yum have to do with it? Sure, it supports multiple sources just fine, but that's not the issue.

so, umm, yum's handled multiple repositories since its first release.It's not an issue of yum supporting them or not. It's an issue of the installer supporting them.

My mistake. I'm used to Debian, where the base includes apt and the first thing that happens after an install is an immediate upgrade. A network install is the norm.
