RE: RHEL5 yum problem

I did indeed use the installation number, and my machine registered on
RHN. Thanks, anyway.

I don't have any RHEL 5 machines of my own at the moment, but I asked
someone who does. He said you likely didn't provide the
Installation ID
number for your RH license. You should look on the rhn
website for it,
it's a long number probably around 16 or more characters.

Locate doesn't seem to work very well either, but that is
another story.


I am having some problems getting yum to run at all and I am
not quite
sure if it's yum or python, as I am familiar with neither
one. This is
compounded by the fact that I am behind a proxy and I am not
completely
sure that I am getting through it with what ever yum is using to get
there. Currently, when I run yum I get the following:

As I said before, I am not familiar with either yum or
python. I have
read the faqs and docs and wiki at DUKE and been through RH
KB and am no
further ahead. I really don't want to open a ticket with RH until I
have to because that in itself is kinda painful. If anyone
can point me
in a proper direction I would appreciate. Thanks.
