you may be behind a proxy, if so, then type this before your yum command

export http_proxy="http://proxy.addr.com:80"

or whatever the port is, instead of 80... also, remember that redhat's
servers are pretty slammed, regularly... so it may just be really
slow...

substitute this server for the default redhat yum server:

base: baseurl=http://mirror.phy.bnl.gov/fedora-core/1/i386/os
updates: baseurl=http://mirror.phy.bnl.gov/fedora-core/updates/1/i386

she's crashing her car in an intersection
she did not see the light
she's walking round and round in a shopping mall
as if she had no sight
dreams are only clouds that form and dissipate
the sky is a highway for metal birds
and land is real estate
she does not understand
her world depends upon a history of lies
she walks right by all her old high school friends 
for she has dollar signs in her eyes

  - the dead milkmen, "dollar signs in her eyes"
