Rob: I used yum as it was installed. I did not edit /etc/yum.conf. What you write makes a lot of sense. Where could I find these mirrors? Is there a sample yum.conf that I could use? I found this at the unofficial Fedora FAQ site. Would this do? http://fedora.artoo.net/faq/samples/yum.conf I will try a Google search. Thanks!
