I was only responding to what appears to be yum not finding vlc in 
whatever repos are enabled.  I think he said he disabled livna...but 
honestly can't be certain that is what he was saying.

I wouldn't have a clue to whatever else is wrong with his system since I 
feel he types many more commands than he displays here on the list.

I think I would be equally successful at turning my system into a 
steaming pile of ICs if I were to give my wife root access, taught her a 
few commands and then told her to configure the system to show DVDs from 
the US.  And, by the way, the situation would not be much different with 
Windows...except in the case of Linux I'd have a very good chance of 
reversing the damage.  :-)

I would hope that going through some hands on training from someone 
sitting next to him would better prepare him to make use of a mailing 
list such as this one.  I get the feeling that it indeed would be better 
for him in the long run and would certainly contribute to the quality of 
the posts and the Fedora experience.  It couldn't hurt.
