Just a side not, make a copy of your working config and the corresponding rpm yum package and put it tar'd up in a safe place. I wrote a very basic shell script that installs the new yum package( rpm -Uvh yum*), copys the conifg to /etc, chkconfigs yum to enable it for nightly updates, then simply starts the update process. This works well for someone who has to setup many machines. > > 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. > Eh, not to sure why myself.
