Yum

[David C. Hacker, DVM]

Here is a yum.conf file from freshrpms which should give you access to  
all needed updates, without having reset errors.

http://freshrpms.net/packages/builds/yum/yum-yd.conf

Just download it and put it in /etc.  You might want to rename your old  
/etc/yum.conf, just to have it as a backup in case something goes  
wrong.  Once you have the file installed the first thing I would do is  
' yum install yum '  Then work on the rest of the updates it will go  
much faster with the latest version of yum.
