My FC3 machine at work has been having issues using yum. It's the old "metadata does not match checksum" issue which has been discussed before. In my case I believe I have tracked it down to caching on the part of the company proxy server. The wget command has a feature to tell the server to turn off caching for a particular request. I have been searching the documentation and internet and cannot find a way of having yum do the same thing. If not, an alternative would be to find a way to algorithmically derive the url for each checksum file and use wget to try to recache the value. Robert E.
