Trying to install csh; problem with yum

[Neelanjana Sengupta]

Hi Mogens,

Thanks for your reply. Actually my machine does have internet connection,
and resolv.conf does exist in  the /etc/ file. However, some sites have been
blocked in our institute, and perhaps the Fedora site is getting filtered
out. Do you happen to know the IP address of the site? I'll request the
administrator to open it up for me...

Also, I did not understand why you asked me to try tcsh (instead of csh).
Regards,
Neelanjana
