Yum configuration between FC1 and FC3 changed quite a bit. You should
have the following two files:
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo:
[base]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$ba
search/os/
#mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-$releasever
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo:
[updates-released]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/
#mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/updates-released-fc$releasever
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
Change the baseurl to your favorite mirror. You also need to download
the GPG keys. Make sure you are in /etc/yum.repos.d/ and run:
rpm --import http://some_mirror_that_has/RPM-GPG-KEY
rpm --import http://some_mirror_that_has/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora
You may also want to access the DAG repositories:
/etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo
[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Fedora Core
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
