Hi Jean,
I recognise you from the WBEL list. Hope all is going well with the new
reinstalation now. I, too, am new to CentOS.
I've been trying to use yum to perform updates for my freshly installed
server and am having problems updating my server using yum. This is the
error I keep getting:-
[root@omega]# yum update

Trying other mirror.

No more mirrors to try.
[root@omega]#
So, I always manually d/load it and update it manually.
Can anyone tell me how to get it working?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Andrew
