Re: [WBEL-users] Need replacement of damaged pckgs

I'm happy to say that the yum.conf that you provided me here is the current 
yum.conf and is allowing me finally to
run  yum update
With that,. I can finally upgrade and update pretty much everything (now 
that yum is finally working).

I am puzzled why is the original yum.conf didn't work, and knowing that this 
is pretty much the first thing that needs
to be run after a vanilla install, I would think there is a fresh and 
updated copy of yum.conf to d/l from the mirror sites.

Anyways,. thanks to Jeff, I now have yum running in the background updating 
:)  .

Thanks!
