I don't use fastestmirror (and it's not in my /usr/lib/yum-plugins/), so I don't need to disable it. I already have a workaround. Something is wrong with the yum repos and needs fixing. But, your response suggests that my question was overly narrow. Apparantly smart doesn't use the repo mirrors. Les, are you even using yum at all? ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
