I did cd /etc and then mv yum.conf yum.conf.vtedu -- which will tell me
more when I forget it and look .... I hope the effect is the same.

Got it -- and since I'm in Western VA, the closest to you are also the
closest to me; I didn't even need to do that last step.
Running it got me a huge wad of stuff scrolling by (dunno why so much),
followed by :
=====
I will do the following:
[update: cups 1:1.1.19-13.2.legacy.i386] [update: glut
3.7-12.lvn.1.1.i386]
[update: cups-libs 1:1.1.19-13.2.legacy.i386] [update: perl-DateManip
5.42-0.fdr.2.a.1.noarch] Is this ok [y/N]:

I had done [root at localhost etc]# rpm --import
http://www.fedoralegacy.org/FEDORA-LEGACY-GPG-KEY as you suggested; so I
don't understand the GPG errors.
I did yum clean :
=====
[root at localhost etc]# yum clean Gathering header information file(s) from
server(s) Server: Fedora Core 1 base
Server: Fedora.us Extras (Stable)
Server: Fedora Legacy utilities for Fedora Core 1 Server: Livna.org -
Fedora Compatible Packages (stable) Server: macromedia.mplug.org - Flash
Plugin Server: Fedora Core 1 updates
Finding updated packages
Cleaning packages and old headers

What is glut, anyway? And mainly: am I golden, copacetic, and generally
ready to roll now? Shall I go do the same to my backup desktop?
Oh and where do I post something to sing the praises of the fedoralegacy
folks? That wad of stuff that scrolled by was *very* impressive ....
