Hi, I recently downloaded and burned the 5.4 DVD ISO. All my machines are now running 5.4, but these are installs I performed with 5.0, 5.1, 5.2 etc. and then progressively upgraded. Now I had to use 5.4 because a friend's laptop, a brandnew Fujitsu Esprimo Mobile, refuses to boot anything under 5.4. After a fresh install of the base system, first thing I do is 'yum update' with the default setup... only this time, nothing happens. I stays about a minute or two on 'Determining fastest mirror'... and then tells me : "Could not retrieve mirrorlist..." On the other hand, 'yum update' on all the other installs (from older CentOS disks) works correctly. What's wrong? Niki
Could you please post the full output of the yum update? Also, are you using any additional yum repos outside of the default centos repo or any plugins?

Can you reach the mirrorlist.centos.org server? Are you behind a proxy? See CentOS-Base.repo for the mirrorhost url and replace $arch with your architecture and $releasever with 5 ... Ralph
