2.5)  Edit /etc/yum.conf to have the correct base and updates sections
      (the distributed YDL 3.0 yum.conf was incorrect).

	[base]
	name=Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 base
	baseurl=http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/yum/3.0/base/

	[updates]
	name=Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 updates
	baseurl=http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/yum/3.0/update/

BTW i used apt-get to successfully upgrade from YDL 2.3 to 3.0 so it
is possible, but I wouldn't recommend it for novices.  I now use yum
as I much prefer it over apt-get.
