good catch...his URL for 'updates-released' (which should be fedora)
points to an ftp with a login and password and it doesn't work.
another URL for updates uses 'core' which clearly won't work.
his URL for 'base' is clearly from an old Fedora because the folder is
now called 'Packages' and not 'Fedora'
OK David...here's what you do. (you can probably just paste this all
into a terminal)
su - # get root
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
mkdir old-repos
mv fedora* old-repos
rpm -ivh --replacepkgs \
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-8-3.noarch.rpm
yum update
yum install system-config-printer
This should get your repos back in order (whatever you did to the
configuration I don't know)

My repo.d is a hangover since about FC2/FC3,with bits and pieces such as
'local-*'
----
clean up your 'repos' folder
set SELINUX to permissive and reboot
Craig
My new yum.repos file (After much stress)
[root@reddwarf yum.repos.d]# ls
atrpms.repo fedora-development.repo fedora-updates-testing.repo
local-base local-updates
crontab Fedora-install-media.repo freshrpms.repo
local-devel local-updates-testing
dag.repo fedora.repo home.repo
local-extra-devel nr.repo
dries.repo fedora-updates.repo livna.repo
local-extras old-repos
[root@reddwarf yum.repos.d]#
How do I set Selinux from one setting to another.
