Hi Stephanie,
 
Start with redirecting where yum "looks" for repositories, meaning sites
where software which yum recognizes as available for download for YDL. 
Getting the right software installed will get your network up and
running faster.

Here's the link: http://www.yellowdog-board.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=3017
 
I messed up my install of YDL such that it's fine for programming, but
not much else unfortunately.  However, there exists another link which
could be helpful to you which addresses wicd.  See here:

Good Luck, Derick.
