h'm not. I don't want to HAVE to reconfigure my clients..nor do i want to HAVE to add a proxy line into my yum.conf files. I actually do agree with les it should just work w/o having to screw around with config files. Please don't accuse me of picking and choosing Bryan. It is not what i did at all. I chose to add the ftp lines to simply get things working again. it is not something that should have to be done at all. If i had more than 3-5 machine here i would fire up another one as a dedicated mirror. Bryan J. Smith wrote: > William Warren wrote: > >>I have gone ftp in my yum.confs.
