That is, /etc/yum.conf does not exist, but there is a file named /etc/yum.conf~ that isn't being used by anything. Such files normally result from an editor renaming the original file as a backup when saving changes to a new origina file. If that backup file contains anything useful, you might try mv'ing or cp'ing it to /etc/yum.conf, as root. You can't do it as a normal user. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
