Thanks, everyone for helping me with my NFS problem. However, the remedy, yum update, does not work on my two YDL computers (and it hasn't worked for over a week).
When I try that I get the following error message: http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/yum/5.0/updates/repodata/ primary.xml.gz: [Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum Trying other mirror. Error: failure: repodata/primary.xml.gz from updates: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
