Hello, YUM has been installed by rpm. Clean Install. Version 2.0.6-1 Yes I can reach both sites in yum.conf file from web browser I have tried other yum.conf from http://www.linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/repos/ but also got same error this is my current yum.conf (See attached file: yum.conf) I would greatly appreciate any help you can provide.I have a colleague who succesfully runs yum updates and his config is no different from mine ( he is however running an earlier version...but I'm sure that is not the issue ) Hello > > I am new to YUM and thought I'd give it a try.
