I'm happy to say that the yum.conf that you provided me here is the current
yum.conf and is allowing me finally to
run yum update
With that,. I can finally upgrade and update pretty much everything (now
that yum is finally working).
I am puzzled why is the original yum.conf didn't work, and knowing that this
is pretty much the first thing that needs
to be run after a vanilla install, I would think there is a fresh and
updated copy of yum.conf to d/l from the mirror sites.
Anyways,. thanks to Jeff, I now have yum running in the background updating
:) .
Thanks!
