as stated in email "Date: Sat, 04 Sep 2010 22:44:46 +0000", correcting
'baseurl=' solved 1 part of problem.

restoring 'mirrorlist' to original address solved another.

biggest problem causing failures was 'dns' resolving.

by subbing 'download.fedoraproject.org' with '209.132.183.67', yum was
able to to get releases and updates, but mirrors still failed.

to get to mirrors, after checking network configs several times, i worked
out why DNS was failing.

1st time checking, i found that during install, '192.168.0.254' was set as
'Primary DNS:' and 'DNS search path:' was set to 'gateway.2wire.net'.

1st attempt was to change '192.168.0.254' to '192.168.1.254', but still
had problems.

as it turned out, 'gateway.2wire.net' was not getting resolved. changing
this to '192.168.1.254' allowed all url addresses to be resolved.

i do not know how installation got things wrong, but that was primary of
problems.


i thank you very much for your help and setting me in right direction.
