OK, I fixed (mostly) the server/repository confusion (I hope) and added most of a section on yum.conf that is the slightly digested man pag in disguise. I still need to add a list of the [serverid] options, but they are all demonstrated in the example and are pretty straightforward. Progress should be a bit faster now. I think Jonathan is joining me and will be contributing sections, which should really speed things up. rgb -- Robert G.
