I don't think ability/inability to accessing internet with firefox has anything to do with this. go to /etc/yum.repos.d as root and carefully check all the .repo files, specially fedora-core.repo. the enabled flag should be 1; i.e. enabled=1 and there shouldn't be a hash sign before mirrorlist sentence. check for the rest of the repos. also, leave the fedora-development.repo as it is, otherwise your FC6 will become rawhide, i suppose :) best regards, amit. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFzscCDlUL5E3antERAmDMAJ48DCDYshcOfd/gjEWRK1vczcy3mACgvFSJ OO+gvcgGkQzVasxPRnFaJwQ= =BcVF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
