The checksum problem (again) seems like it was probably a short term problem. If you try again, I''ll bet it will work. The probably of "no more mirrors" can be solved by adding a couple of extra mirrors to your yum.conf or your /etc/yum.repos.d/ "man yum.conf" for more information on adding mirrors. You can find more mirrors to add to your yum.conf in the http://centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=13 page and read about which ones are already added via http://mirror.centos.org DNS passing See this thread for more information: http://lists.caosity.org/pipermail/centos/2005-March/003745.html Greg

The other day, even Dag was down for a few hours. As Greg recommended, wait a few and try again. -- Collins When I saw the Iraqi people voting three weeks ago, 8 million of them, it was the start of a new Arab world....
