I am a newbie... But I have managed to get YDL 3.1 up and running on my old
G3 233MHz Mac. I have it hooked up to the internet through a HomePlug
network, Linksys router, and DSL. And I have things like KDE running...
Still struggling with CUPS to get printing working... And Mozilla doesn=B9t
work, although Konquerer does (go figure).
In any case, I read a bit about yum and figured I should see if any of the
packages I installed from the YDL install disks need to be updated. However=
,
when I enter =8Cyum list updates=B9, I get the following behavior:
[root@YellowDog root]# yum list updates

Whenever I try this I get the IOError but at different points in the hdr

so, can anyone recommend other mirror sites to use? Are all the yum

in terms of packages/versions available?
