You've messed up your repository definitions somehow.
Verify the definition of the "dries" repository. It looks as if
you replaced the baseurl= with the URL of the fedora-release package,
which is not correct at all.

 Sorry, didn't know any better.

Keeping an eye on the output, Yum kept pointing to the dries.repo,
and becoming desparate I Stuck a URL in there hoping..and waiting
for the errors.

fc5 is broken here along with a bunch
of services and links. Still trying to update to 10, and then
reading how important staying updated is.


There must be a .conf file somewhere to change and make it point
correctly?

Is there even a dries respository anymore?  The seven now showing
in repos.d look ancient.

'messed up...somehow' is the operative..

Shouldn't I just delete all of them and build (one) correctly?

My back is really against the wall. I now show no DVD or USB so
I can't ISO an image, and Just read if updating from HD you can't
ISO files on partitions controlled by LVM. Isn't LVM my Gui??


Thanks,
