Thanks. Works great...referring the above issue..
This has been closed I see but it don't help with installing from the DVD or am I missing something between my ears?
My mistake. I was talking about the yum update and put it on the wrong bug . Either way the update works. The DVD install on my part only got fixed when I took the USB drive offline.
