Hi David, Hi Hiren, This has had to be put on hold. Apparently there is an issue with installing Fedora on a virtual server within a physical server running on a different distro. Anyway your intuitions were correct in that the root cause was a problem with the Fedora installation itself. I very much appreciate your feedback and I owe each of you a tall cold beer. Kind Regards, Eric _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum
