Troy,
It seems something went wrong with my installation then. I had problems getting the onboard ethernet
to be recognised during the installation. Strange if this yum problem was a side effect of that. I haven't noticed
anything else not working as expected.
When I tried what you suggest I got:
/sbin/chkconfig --list yum
service yum supports chkconfig, but is not referenced in any runlevel (run 'chkconfig --add yum')
rpm -qa | grep yum-conf
yum-conf-4x-1-5.SL.noarch
rpm -V yum-conf
package yum-conf is not installed
rpm -V yum-conf-4x
S.5....TC c /etc/cron.daily/yum.cron
S.5....T. c /etc/yum.conf
S.5....T. c /etc/yum.d/yum.cron.excludes
S.5....T. c /etc/yum.repos.d/sl-testing.repo
