Sorry, I wasnt getting the first time. I never had the edit the repo
files before and change
enabled=1 for the Media
then add the line
enabled=0 to every base repo.
So now it starts off and looks like its going to do it but then it says
failed dependencies on openssh4.3p2-26.el5

I'm not sure how you got to that point while trying to install X on that
machine but UNLESS there has been other stuff added from
who-knows-where, yum will resolve the dependencies. That's what yum does.
(You did read the 1st sentence of Ralph's 1st reply, right? -- "If you
haven't done *any* upgrade on that machine yet,....")?
Once that system has been cross-pollinated, all bets are off. If you
*have* loaded that baby down with updates and/or packages from Fedora,
EPEL, rpmforge, sourceforge, etc., then you will likely have a bunch of
head-scratchin' in your near and distant future. Un-bastardization is
kinda like un-ringing a bell.
