Yum

[Ted Gervais]

Thanks Jeff, and the others who have responded to my query for help..
What I did was I ran a query to see if BitTorrent was installed and with 
that I was told to remove anything that was related to that in order to 
re-install BitTorrent.
I was shown two lines that concerned BitTorrent and I deleted these 
directories..  (rm -Rf /dev/???)
Bingo.  Now I no longer had Yum..

I will try and be more cautious to the future.

Thanks again fellows for the help and kind direction...
