"yum clean metadata" may be enough, but with the mirrors out of sync this week it can take me several tries before it all works. Do a "yum clean metadata" again if the next "yum update" or whatever seems to have a bogus number of packages -- say, it removes 500 packages and adds 30. Just try the "yum update" over again if it says "no more mirrors to try"; I think it only gets 10 at a time. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
