I don't know whether you're going to get a quick fix, that way. There's more to it than just the yum.conf file. Mine's pasted below, it just sets some options. --------- begin below --------- [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum keepcache=1 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 # in /etc/yum.repos.d --------- ends above ---------- The above mentioned /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory contains the files that pertain to particular repos. It might be easier to download the yum and fedora-release RPMs from a mirror, and install them using RPM. That should set them up to work. Playing cut and paste from e-mails is prone to errors, some times. As things like line endings can get carriage returns added where they shouldn't be, and whatnot. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.)
