the default yum.conf file points to the public servers; as v4.0 isnt technicaly public it wont be there yet. You need to edit the file so that it points to your ydl.net enhanced acc.-as to the exact entry im not really sure of it cause last time i tried i couldnt get it to work. Though i do know that it should look like it would if you were to type it in to a web browser (w/ your username:password combination in the address)

I hope they get the updates up soon... my Geek Edition showed up yesterday, and I've already found some problems.
