Hi John,

Exist the yum.conf???
If OK
   Possible, corrupt the file
Bye,

Hey Clovis!

The yum.conf exists BUT it is listed in the /etc directory as yum.conf~ (tilde).  I tried (as described above) to rename it but it won't rename.  Can I change the permissions on this file (to what exactly and how) OR do I delete the file?  Some other option?

Thanks for your help.

John
