I'm still using CentOS 3.3 as our install mechanism, then adding some packages from a tarball of RPMs we need. Then I run # yum update yum which sometimes takes a while. Yesterday it took many hours. I like to run these from behind a firewall in our office before taking the server to the datacenter, but the delay meant a whole day's delay in our trip to the datacenter <frown>. This is our baseurl line for each section; it's the default: baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/$releasever/os/$basearch/ Should I be adding additional lines? If so, where do I find the list?
