I was able to get yum to work as was shared above. I am wondering if my system is up to date or if I am missing something. Should I add or delete anything to any of these files below? example from one of my files below # PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo How should a file.repo be configured? I just added this to /etc/yum.conf.rpmnew [extras] name=Fedora Extras $releasever - $basearch baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/5/$ARCH/ # in /etc/yum.repos.d *What does this line mean?* /etc/yum.conf [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=redhat-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 retries=20 #[base] #name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os / #baseurl=http://mirror.linux.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/ #[updates-released] #name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$bas earch/ #baseurl=http://mirror.linux.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates #[updates-testing] #name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Unreleased Updates #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/$release ver/$basearch/ #[development] #name=Fedora Core $releasever - Development Tree #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/$basearch/ /etc/yum.conf.rpmnew [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum keepcache=0 debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=redhat-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 obsoletes=1 gpgcheck=1 plugins=1 metadata_expire=1800 # PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo [extras] name=Fedora Extras $releasever - $basearch baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/5/$ARCH/ # in /etc/yum.repos.d /etc/yum.repos.d total 80 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 26 15:29 ./ drwxr-xr-x 99 root root 12288 Jul 18 05:46 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 840 Mar 14 18:20 fedora-core.repo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1549 Mar 14 18:20 fedora-development.repo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 780 Mar 14 18:20 fedora-extras-development.repo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 763 Mar 14 18:20 fedora-extras.repo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 486 Mar 14 18:20 fedora-legacy.repo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 790 Mar 14 18:20 fedora-updates.repo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 865 Mar 14 18:20 fedora-updates-testing.repo Thanks for any help, Jack -- Jack Gates http://www.jlgates.com/ http://www.myenergyproducts.com/
