[Yum] Yum problem

[Jeff Sheltren]

Hi John, you are looking at an outdated mirror site.  Since RH 9 is no
longer supported (by RedHat), you probably want to use something like Fedora
Legacy to keep your box updated.  They are still releasing packages for RH
9.

There should be a yum.conf on their website you can use to point to their
mirror.
