Thanks,  I will make the changes and try it.

NOTE However, that this yum.conf file is exacly the version that was 
posted on this list earlier.  I suppose I did not note the problem with 
XFree86 earlier since this is likely the first time XFrre86 was updated 
since the initial core release on this distro.

Maybe someone could post a better yum.conf file copy for an example.
