Eventually I got a url for a mirror, found the new yum, downloaded and installed it. I still have the same problem. By now I'm almost convinced that $releasever either isn't set, or is passing a wrong version. Googling seems to add weight to this idea. How do I find the current value of $releasever? If it's wrong, is the correct command SET $releasever = 10 ? Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature?

I can use konqueror to reach a mirror site and download packages manually. This box has been upgraded rather than a clean install.
