You should be able to update to 3.0.1 by adding:
	[updates301]
	name=Yellow Dog Linux 3.0.1 updates
	baseurl=ftp://ftp.oregonstate.edu/pub/ydl/yum/3.0.1/update/
to your 'yum.conf' file (or use a comparable mirror). Then run:
	yum update
and it should update all. After you've done the update, you can delete 
or comment out that suppository, as it only contains the kernel/mol/X 
updates.

cheers, g'luck and all that stuff
