Hi Stephanie,<br>
=A0Start with redirecting where yum &quot;looks&quot; for repositories, mea=
ning sites<br>
where software which yum recognizes as available for download for YDL.<br>
Getting the right software installed will get your network up and<br>
running faster.<br>
<br>

=A0I messed up my install of YDL such that it&#39;s fine for programming, b=
ut<br>
not much else unfortunately. =A0However, there exists another link which<br=

<br>
By the way, remember to extract the Airport Extreme (AE) firmware from<br>
OS X! =A0Although yum can help you acquire the tools to do the extraction<b=
r>
of AE firmware you also need to check to see if you have AE installed on<br=

your laptop at all. =A0Remember Airport Extreme is not the same as the<br>
standard Airport card Apple installed in that era. =A0So if AE isn&#39;t<br=

Of course, if you do have AE proceed with the instructions here:<br>
