thanks a lot....now i have got my yum working....but i have some doubts....i searched a lot and read all the docs given on the fedora website but couldnt get it clarified.... This is regarding the yum.conf file and yum.repos.d directory containing the repository information. I want to know why do we have 2 things for maintaining the repository information and not one. I presently have both yum.conf and yum.repos.d. Does yum check both the files or just checks yum.repos.d for repository information. Can i get rid of my yum.conf file. As far as I can see, I can specify repository information in both yum.conf and yum.repos.d files then why is there a need for yum.repos.d directory itself. We can just specify all the repositories in the yum.conf file itself. Why a separate directory for repositories. Can someone clarify on this?
