It seems your replies are taking some time to reach the list, which may 
explain why I appear to have ignored them for a while. I guess you've 
probably already received my reply to your previous post, which gives a 
reference to top-posting.

OK, that's why yum isn't working.

You don't need to remove anything. Just install the mysql-server RPM 
from your install media (it will be in the Fedora/RPMS directory of your 
DVD or one of your CDs, not sure which one).

Then do the chkconfig and service commands that I referred to earlier.
