Re: STILL Unable to use YUM to update

it's also easy to get a new yum.conf.  you can download one from http://www.fedorafaq.org/fc3/#installsoftware (I use this one and it does pretty well).

that's just in case the yum.conf~ is corrupt as well.

good luck,
spencer

That is, /etc/yum.conf does not exist, but there is a file named
/etc/yum.conf~ that isn't being used by anything.  Such files normally
result from an editor renaming the original file as a backup when saving
changes to a new origina file.  If that backup file contains anything
useful, you might try mv'ing or cp'ing it to /etc/yum.conf, as root.  You
can't do it as a normal user.
