This is a DNS issue when trying to add some base packages that are necessary. I've seen this multiple times in the past few weeks, the problem is likely transient.

Unfortunately it's out of our control, but I suspect if you tried again today the problem will have solved itself.

Just for curiosities sake, are you using public DNS or do you host your own and use forwarders? Where are your forward requests going?

I sincerely apologize for my mistake... I didn't put in the DNS in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
It's working now :oops:

An easy oversight - glad you got it sorted!
