Have followed all instructions, googled and read Johnny's November post, went to Duke (not physically, web-spherically, although it's only 45 minutes away),...
and still can't see how I have protectbase operational.
Installed: [root@wlmlfs08 ~]# yum -C --disablerepo=rpmforge list|grep yum centos-yumconf.noarch 4-4.5 installed yum.noarch 2.4.2-2.centos4 installed yum-plugin-fastestmirror.noarch 0.2.4-3.c4 installed yum-utils.noarch 0.5-1.c4 installed yumex.noarch 0.99.11-1.0.c4 installed
Haven't been able to find a protect base python plugin from CentOS, although I clearly recall it being said that CentOS supported it and the fastest mirrors.
Need to get it from the Duke plugin web page? Or what did I do wrong?
TIA

yum install yum-plugin-protectbase
If fastest mirror is already working, then this should be too.
you need to add the lines:
protect=1
or
protect=0
to all repos in /etc/yum.conf or /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo files.
AND you need to edit /etc/yum.conf and add the line:
plugins=1
Thanks, Johnny Hughes

That's the one I'm missing. I wonder why it didn't show in my yum list? *sigh* more learning curve I guess.

Fast mirror *seems* to be and I can find it's .py and config stuff.

Got all that ok. It's only the protect* I couldn't find anywhere.
Thanks,

AHA! Used -C while searching for it with yum, previous run had extras disabled and that's where the protect base was at. Normally I don't -C and I do --enablerepo=all. Live and learn.
Thanks!
