After uncommenting them, yum worked as usual. > The baseurl lines got commented out by the yum updates because it was decided to distribute the load by using the mirrorlist line. At present the mirrorlist url given is overloaded so it is causing problems with FC5 updates. Be patient and the normal update process will work as soon as the "feeding frenzy" on the FC6 downloads (which uses the same mirrorlist server) subsides a bit. If the mirrorlist was not being used to distribute the load, the baseurl server would be experiencing the same problem (only much worse). Although you can go back to the baseurl, eliminating the mirrors will cause other (probably more severe) problems at some point.
