How do I move my repo's back to /etc/yum.repos.d./ ---- OK, it seemed like a simple yes/no question but here it is now an hour later and no answer. This is my suggestion (and I have no idea if it will work) I don't think that these fedora*repo files were the right ones and I wanted to know what happened to the 48 other files that used to be in /etc/yum.repos.d but I guess I won't know that answer tonight. First you must su - Then you can paste this next section into a terminal and it should do everything cd /etc/yum.repos.d mv NOT-USED/fedora.repo . mv NOT-USED/fedora-updates.repo . mv NOT-USED/fedora-updates-testing.repo . mv NOT-USED/livna.repo . yum update and report back what happens I'm going to bed Craig
