Thank you Graeme this does help, however I have no yum.conf file or any
file by the name of yum. I do have an

/etc/yum.repos.d directory with:

-rw-r--r--    1 root root 1123 Jun  3 11:12 fedora-devel.repo
-rw-r--r--    1 root root  312 Jun  3 11:12 fedora-extras-devel.repo
-rw-r--r--    1 root root  299 Jun  3 11:12 fedora-extras.repo
-rw-r--r--    1 root root  294 Jun  3 11:12 fedora.repo
-rw-r--r--    1 root root  330 Jun  3 11:12 fedora-updates.repo
-rw-r--r--    1 root root  337 Jun  3 11:12 fedora-updates-testing.repo
-rw-r--r--    1 root root  354 Jun 28 11:40 freshrpms.repo

in it.

perhaps I should search my install cd's and search for a yum rpm.... ??

Thank you.

Ted
