Thanks for the coaching, Tilghman. Blake and I are on the trail - the mirrorlist.centos.org is trying to resolve via IPv6 and there is no IPv6 network by which to connect. I am now in the throws of learning that there is no way to completely disable IPv6 in CentOS 6. I've read several threads with other folks having the same problem I am, with similar levels of frustration.

This link is particularly confusing:
<www.hosting.com/support/linux/how-to-disable-ipv6-for-redhat-and-centos/>

"append at the end of the {/etc/modprobe.conf} file:
        install ipv6 /bin/true"

That disables ipv6????
