  I just tried "yum update", and got a response that no packages were 
  marked for update.
  The repositories it looked at were:

   * base: mirror.raystedman.net
   * BlueOnyx: www.blueonyx.it
   * updates: mirror.sanctuaryhost.com
   * addons: mirrors.serveraxis.net
   * Solarspeed.net: mirror.smd.net
   * extras: mira.sunsite.utk.edu

  Are those all I should have, or am I missing something for the CentOS 
  update?
