Must come from being a redneck - y'all never clean up. <g>
Try yum clean all *then* try it again. That'll force a relookup of the mirrors.

It is also possible that he has DVD Media repo enabled (in CentOS-Media.repo).

Got it in one! I disremember just what I imagined that repo to be or do.
Another subscriber told me exactly what to change, where, and how. I did, and Shazam! It began updating itself like a m*d b*st*rd, as we say in these here parts: a new kernel and 76 updates to installed packages. Whee!
So then I started installing things I need (like Alpine and Pan), and that also worked -- double whee! -- as did scp over my LAN, to get .pinerc, .pan2, etc. Triple whee!
Many many thanks to all!
