Are you moving from CentOS-3 to CentOS-4 via Yum?

The new yum does this by default ... there is no real way to turn it
off.  But if you change both yum.conf and CentOS-Base.repo (rem out all
the CentOS-Base.repo stuff with # ... change yum.conf to the way you
want it) it should from that point on save your files (at the very
least).

If you delete CentOS-Base.repo, it will keep coming back ... if you
modify it, it should stay as is.
