i'm kinda newbie in centos.... so clear me something... you say that I 
must put this entry

#released i386 updates
[update-i386]
name=CentOS-$releasever - i386 Updates
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=i386&repo=updates
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/i386/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4
enabled=0
protect=1


in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo , right?
is there anything else that i must consider?
