Hi Jean, I recognise you from the WBEL list. Hope all is going well with the new reinstalation now. I, too, am new to CentOS. I've been trying to use yum to perform updates for my freshly installed server and am having problems updating my server using yum. This is the error I keep getting:- [root at omega]# yum update Setting up Update Process Setting up Repos update 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 addons 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files update : ################################################## 230/230 base : ################################################## 1404/1404 addons : ################################################## 2/2 extras : ################################################## 30/30 Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

Trying other mirror. Error: failure: RPMS/telnet-0.17-31.EL4.3.i386.rpm from update: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. [root at omega]# So, I always manually d/load it and update it manually. Can anyone tell me how to get it working? Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Andrew At 10:52 PM 15/06/2005, you wrote: >Hello all, > >I 'm new in CentOS 4.
