While attempting to grab some packages from the repos I've been getting a lot of mirror errors. Anyone have any idea why?

I've recently updated from CentOS 5 Beta2 to the final version and it went flawlessly. The first thing I did though was to update the centos-release packages per a previous post. I was under the impression this would take care of repo problems. Was I incorrect?

Error: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: contrib

There is no contrib repo in CentOS 5 ... please edit your /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo file and turn it off (enabled=0) or just remove that section.

It is off by default, not sure how it got turned on in your case.
