Do you mean you screwed up your repositories, or that you accidentally
deleted files from some directory? What happens when you run
yum update
as root?
Generally you can find very good advice about yum at fedorafaq.org.
# yum check-update

Reading repository metadata in from local files
It no longer has fedora repositories.
That sounds like an en easy fix. Either download or find and reinstall from
your FC-5 CD/DVD
Fedora-release-5-5.noarch.rpm
A link to a fast download site, for me, is http://tinyurl.com/y3tq4l
It is a very small package.

David: Thanks for the reminder that my FC5 CDs are not just for the
first install. :)
I tried your suggestion, and downloaded the rpm and ran:
# rpm -Uvh fedora-release-5-5.noarch.rpm
Preparing... ###########################################
[100%]
package fedora-release-5-5 is already installed
I think I need to find a working directory at /etc/yum.repos.d to
replace the fedora directories I deleted from that directory and from
/var/cache/yum
Thanks, Tom
