yum on FC6 broken

[Karl Larsen]

Hi Todd,

    I wanted to try the Package Manager since this FC6 is made up now of 
CD-Rom 1 and 2 and a lot of automatic updates :-)

    It didn't work just as I thought it should but it is now D/L stuff 
pretty fast. So it may work. I will look at the help file.

Karl
