Dear friends:

I reinstalled SL last night. It went perfectly. All my devices were recognized 
and configured properly (sound card, printer, video, etc.). My ftp works fine 
but not through kget. Instead, I found that gftp works just fine. 

I then tested yum. It works fine in general, but I am mystified at not being 
able to download and install certain programs from our own SL sources. 
Specifically, these refer to acroread and mplayer. Here is the output:

I would appreciate your help with this issue. I would like to be sure that yum 
works perfectly. Could you please check and see if your yum is working 
properly.

Thank you so much.
