The CD is not such a repository. I'm not familiar with "LSU" repository. Perhaps you can post your yum.conf file online and that might help diagnose your problem. Also, please note FAQ http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq#Q2 yum is made to update systems, but where you find the repositories to update the system is not something that yum can reasonably track and manage for each project.
