Yes I meant to say I used vim to disable stablemirror.py
Now yum comes up with more errors and diabled plugins

[david at reddwarf ~]$ sudo yum -y update
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
"stablemirror" plugin is disabled
"fastestmirror" plugin is disabled
"gpgcheck" plugin is disabled
Running "config" handler for "installonlyn" plugin
Yum Version: 3.0

This seems to be getting worse instead of better and should 'gpgcheck' 
be disabled.
