Dammit, in my rush to get onto the web with this stinky modem and even stinkier connection, I copied my old repo stuff into yum... yup, it blows sky high and complains about missing core and other aches and pains. How do I re-install yum (for FC7) from scratch?? I dnloaded every yum rpm I could find, but what rpm contains all of the repo stuff?? It's not in anything named yum*.rpm as I dnloaded mc (Midnight Commander) and examined them all. Someone just shoot me, Ric
