edit yum config file

[Paul Higgins]

Sorry about that...figured they would have fixed their repository by now.  I 
just went and checked and at first it looked like the entire YDL ftp site had 
been hollowed out.  I did a bit more rooting around and found this:

"NOTE: The Alpaca Farm (this mirror site) will be unavailable for much of 
Saturday, Jun 17th, GMT -6, due to scheduled downtime for SAN improvements."

If the only RPM repositories you have in etc/yum.conf are those of YDL, you're 
out of luck for today.  I have one alternate in my file:

[freshrpms]
name=Fresh rpms
baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/yellowdog/4.0/ppc/freshrpms/

I should really put some more in my etc/yum.conf file; I've found a number of 
good repos, but anyway, the freshrpms site is up and running.  Looks like 
you'll have to deal with stuff for YDL 4.0, however, as they haven't updated 
for 4.1 yet.
