yum locking up

[Salvatore Enrico Indiogine]

Rob:

I used yum as it was installed.  I did not edit /etc/yum.conf.  What you
write makes a lot of sense. 

Where could I find these mirrors?  Is there a sample yum.conf that I
could use?

I found this at the  unofficial Fedora FAQ site.  Would this do?

http://fedora.artoo.net/faq/samples/yum.conf

I will try a Google search.

Thanks!

Enrico

Email sent from a Linux PC using Evolution

Man once surrendering his reason, has no remaining guard against
absurdities the most monstrous, and like a ship without rudder, is the
sport of every wind.

Thomas Jefferson, 1822
