Thanks for the suggestions.  I'll play with it some more, hopefully YUM will 
install enough from the DVD that I can see if I want to spend more time with 
it. I really don't want to RPM a lot of things from the DVD, if Yum can't use 
the DVD,  then its over.

At least I'm not having Annaconda problems.  And as one user said, if you 
don't want to,be a beta tester, stay away. Well I have not used Red Hat 
regularly since 6.?, and it seems it will stay that way.

Cheerio
