Thanks Kevin......

In the order you listed the rpms, the yum failed needing pygpgme....  So 
I tried installing them t'other way around:

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ivh 
http://mirrors.tummy.com/pub/fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/releases/9/Ev...

http://mirrors.tummy.com/pub/fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/releases/9/Ev...

Any idea where the so.11 files might be??  (or how with my limited 
knowledge of the remnants of my system, I should go about finding the 
deps??))

Thanks again

Thanks again Kevin.... It seems that each time you give me another lead, 
rpm wants another 2 or 3 files......  It'd be alright if I could find a 
readable list of what is required to install an rpm!

Do we provide a network enabled rescue environment with yum available
off of install media or some such that would make this easier?

Well, yum solves this problem, but sadly you are trying to install
it. ;( 

You can look in the package directories (the same ones the other
packges are in) and pull down the likely packages and add them to your
rpm command line. 

If you have another machine with yum-utils you can use 'yumdownloader
--url packagename' to get a url to use to download to the affected
machine.

Access to the dvd would be helpful, but part of this thread _is_ about
installing Yum and its several dependencies. ;)

The way its going he will soon end up getting a really long dependency list.
correct me if I am wrong, cant he just install yum from the dvd? And then do
a full yum update to get things in order?

You also need:

They are found in the "gpgme" package. In the 9/Everything repo at least.
Be prepared that you also need "gnupg2" and "pth" as additional
dependencies,
if not installed already.

Thanks to all who tried to help me out of my predicament! 

2 weeks of flu + family visiting meant I didn't get a chance to follows 
Anne's off-list suggestion to reinstall till last night, but I now seem 
to be more or less back to square one!!!!!

Scary thought - the first set of updates that were thrown up after the 
install were the same ones that crashed me before.  This time they worked!!

Again, thanks all for your time & patience,  Happy New 2009, lots of 
luck & happiness

Dave
