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
