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?

Thanks a lot
