FC2 is no longer supported. There was support from fedora legacy, but that has been ditched now. I use Apt, but I do have an /etc/yum.conf, see below. # $Id: yum-fd.conf 1563 2004-07-15 21:11:23Z dude $ [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=fedora-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 [core] name=Fedora Linux $releasever - $basearch - core baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/core gpgcheck=1 [updates] name=Fedora Linux $releasever - $basearch - updates baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/updates gpgcheck=1 [freshrpms] name=Fedora Linux $releasever - $basearch - freshrpms baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/freshrpms gpgcheck=1 #[tupdates] #name=Fedora Linux $releasever - $basearch - testing updates #baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/tupdates You're not going to get anything from the updates, but may get the core packages. The above stuff doesn't give much, but as I've said I use Apt, which I got from planetccrma, and have added a few packages recently for FC2 from planetccrma. If you want to install Apt from planetccrma, the link is below, and as I say I'm still able to get new packages, but no updates are available. Firefox, Opera, and some music apps are no problem, as I upgrade them from downloads (rpms's, or tarballs) from their respective sites. http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/ All the best.
