Not a clue.  I only have yum on the one box where everything is pre-configured 
and I don't touch it.  You might find the following url helps, it looks like 
it will set up the dag repo in yum for you.  Before you do that I would 
remove all none default stuff from the yum.conf and get yum running without 
errors.
