I have yum working with dags and dries, etc, but I have done something to the main repo file that causes yum to error. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this file?
CentOS-Base.repo # # This file uses a new mirrorlist system developed by Lance Davis for CentOS. # The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the # update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and # geographically close to the client. You should use this for CentOS updates # unless you are manually picking other mirrors. # # If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the # remarked out baseurl= line instead. # #

By the way, I have just subscribed to this list, and already see that it has it's share of complainers. I have only used CentOS for a few weeks, but I am enjoying the experience. I tried FC4, but yum would hang each time I tried it, so it has been good to have things work. Good work on this distro! For whatever that is worth from a newbie. TIA ~Lorin
