I'm not clear on your problem, so I can only help with questions.

It sounds like you performed a new install from the KDE livecd, on new
hardware, and while the install succeeded, you are unable to update the
system.  Is this correct?

Are your problems with yum describeable? Did updates ever work?

Have you tried anything besides repeated 'yum update' attempts?

It might be helpful to your potential supporters to have more information.
