    Yes yum works as expected otherwise. I've been using yum with no
    problem for two days to configure that computer,

    I tried both methods described on that page, graphical and command
    line, neither worked for me.

    I don't know what other damage might be left behind but I can see my
    horses in the back pasture once more which was the primary object of
    this exercise.

    Thanks,

    Bob
