Greetings;
Find attached my yum.conf for an FC1 system. Is there something wrong with it? I've not managed to get any response out of the server for [updates-released] in about 4, maybe 5 days now.

Bingo! The problem is with the yum.conf trying to hit the redhat server which is overloaded. Try using the sample yum.conf available at this url:

You'll see a big improvement!
Hope this helps, Clint
