Hey Spencer.

Tried the first command "yum clean all" and this is what I got (what I
entered at the terminal)

[jmoore at localhost ~]$ su -
Password:
[root at localhost ~]# yum clean all
Config Error: Error accessing file for config file:///etc/yum.conf
[root at localhost ~]#

As you can see, I still got the same error.  Any suggestions?
