The rest of the repos you can add by mv the files back but only do 1 or 2 at a time so you will see if any have problems. Myself, I would probably move the rpmforge.repo back but it might be an issue depending upon how old it is. Possibly kde-redhat stuff (may be old), maybe jpackage...again, it could be old and broken Craig
