The files are enclosed herewith this mail. Please answer my question:- 1. If the base url with repository path has to be defined in all the .repo files present in the directory, /etc/yum.respos.d/ ? 2. How does it make a difference to use the baseurl in all the three section of all these files viz.,fedora-development.repo fedora.repo fedora-updates.repo fedora-updates-testing.repo ? 3. Is it necssary to make the value of the variables- enable=1 gpgcheck=1 or should they be made equal to 0? 4. In the case when enable=1 and gpgcheck=0 and with all the enclosed files of /etc/yum.repos.d/ i got the following errors as shown below:- FIRST CASE 1.For the command:- yum -y update [root@authdns bin]# yum -y update Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Update Process <a target="_blank" href="http://192.168.2.6/fedora/linux/releases/7/Everything/i386/os/repodata/repodata/repomd.xml">http://192.168.2.6/fedora/linux/releases/7/Everything/i386/os/repodata/repodata/repomd.xml</a>: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2007 12:20:51 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat) Content-Length: 346 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Trying other mirror.
