yum.log is largely empty. I may want to set a higher debuglevel in the 
future. After your email I changed my yum.conf lines to the mirror at 
ibiblio.org (which, if nothing else, will be faster than the redhat 
servers). It gave the same error afterwards.

In a "heck-with-it" move, I proceeded with uninstalling 'jdkgcj' which I 
presume has something to do with a Java development kit that I'm likely 
not using. It then got past the dependency stage and is now dowloading 
packages so I guess I'm on my way (to somewhere).

Hope the next steps FC1->FC2->FC3 go a bit easier.

Thanks,
Michael
