I'm still using FC2 on one of my 2 machines. FC2 is no longer supported. There 
was support from fedora legacy, but that has been ditched now. I  use Apt, 
but I do have an /etc/yum.conf, see below.

You're not going to get anything from the updates, but may get the core 
packages.

The above stuff doesn't give much, but as I've said I use Apt, which I got 
from planetccrma, and have added  a few packages recently for FC2 from 
planetccrma.

If you want to install Apt from planetccrma, the link is below, and as I say 
I'm still able to get new packages, but no updates are available. Firefox, 
Opera, and some music apps are no problem, as I upgrade them from downloads 
(rpms's, or tarballs) from their respective sites.

All the best.
