CentOS - Oct 2005 - Broken up2date & install from CD ?

I've run into some problems I can't explain.  I tried to install the 
mysql package from the 4.1 CD's and the installer just sat there telling 
me to insert the CD into the drive and click OK.  I did that, and it 
just blinked once, then returned to the same thing.. hit the OK button, 
etc., etc., again and again.  Wound up having to yum install the mysql 
package which went OK afik.  Now, trying to run up2date for the latest 
updates, and its hung on fetching the obsoletes list for channel 
centos4-addons.  Will not go any further.  I had to remove DAG from the 
repos, as every time I tried to fetch something, it bombed out, so don't 
know if its my problem or somewhere else. 

Hints??

Don't know about the other problem, but DAG and mirrors aren't always
available. I've had to remove them a few times in the past.

      Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code ... If you write
      the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not
      smart enough to debug it.
