Hi All,
I tried to perform a 'yum update' this evening and am receiving the
following errors:
[root at localhost tony]# yum -y update
Loading "installonlyn" plugin

I tried disabling the "macromedia" repoistory think it may have just been a problem with them. Doing this produces the following out:
[root at localhost tony]# yum -y --disablerepo=macromedia update

Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-fc6&arch=i386 error was
[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')>
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates
I am not sure whether it would have an affect (or produce this error), but this only started occurring after I physically changed the processor inside my laptop. I changed from an Intel 3Ghz
to a 2.8Ghz Celeron (I know its downgrading but there seemed to be a fault with the better processor).
Was wondering if someone might be able to shed some light onto this problem?
All the best.
Cheers,
Tony Crouch
