Thanks, Jim & Jesse, for setting me on the correct path.  Yes, I had just 
copied my old FC5 repos over the FC6 ones as I had added other repos.  
Restoring them fixed the problem.

Damn, can't yell at anyone else for problems I make.  Grrrr

When might release notes for FC6 become available?

Thanks.
Tom
