This is said with: 'Temporary failure in name resolution'. Perhaps you ISP's dns-server was down at this time?? Do you get a reply on : 'host http://download.fedora.redhat.com'? If no, check your /etc/resolv.conf, that there is an appropiate dns-server entered, which resolves the fqdn's, then it should work fine...if yes, yum should also work properly... HTH Roger
