Glenn:
Edit your /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-development.repo file. Uncomment the
'baseurl=' line. save that file and exit the editor. run command 'yum
clean metadata'. You should now get the fedora.redhat repo to download
from.

Thanks Scott for the above comments. That seems to have solved my
problem. It took a couple of tries, but now I am updating over 100
pkgs. Thank you.
Mary Ellen, I don't think I have the yum-plugins. This FC6T3 install is
a basic distro install and I did not find the "fastestmirror" option.
But I appreciate the try.
