Yeah, well that makes two of us then it appears.  I fully acknowledge to
everyone in the world reading my posts that I don't know much of what I
am doing when working in Linux.  I try to read as much as I can about
these systems and try to decipher what all the talk means but frankly I
have a hard time following the rules of the road in this operating
system sometimes.

Thank you very much for this instructional information.  I will make
sure I download yum 2.0.8 and run the commands you mention above.
