    Yes, I suppose you're right but I wanted to partition it myself
    instead of the usual lvm. I will live with my mistakes, hopefully
    get it right next time.

    I tried several of the things shown under yum clean, packages was
    one of them, metadata another.

    I'm still struggling with error messages, probably created by my
    trying to stop yum early this morning when it did nothing but try
    new mirrors. I should have stuck with the CTRL+c longer. Pushing the
    reset button was not the thing to do, I knew that at the time but
    nothing worked.

    Thanks.

    Bob
