Updating the kernel and MOL

[Olaf Olson]

Steve,

Sounds like yum is not in your path. Mine is located in the sbin 
directory, Maybe you should try:

/usr/sbin/ybin -v

instead. You may not have loaded your machine the same as mine, although 
I did just use the defaults when I installed, so this may work out 
anyway. Give this a shot.
