I removed the yum installation rpm -e yum I installed the version which came with the FC4 DVD yum-2.3.2-7.noarch.rpm Than yum -y upgrade yum. That's it. Now I have the latest yum 2.4 But the system upgrade with yum still doesn't work. I changed yum.conf with timeout=300 and I still got the timout errors. I have an internet line of 256kbs minimum guarantied. I was able to download manually with Firefox all the upgrade packages yum is trying to download without success, on the same system. I copied those rpm-s in /var/cache/yum/base/packages/ (or .../updates/packages) hoping that yum will not try to download again and will do the necessari upgrades, but even if the packages are in the cache folder yum tries to download them again - of course without success. Why? So 2 questions: 1. Why still I have the timeout errors? 2. Why yum downloads again the packages which I already copied in the cache folder?
