The default Fedora install gives you Fedora (Everything) and Fedora Updates enabled. All others default to disabled. In order to use the other repos, any of them, *you* had to *enable* them. Which can be done by root in a text editor or one of several GUIs provided by Fedora. So please explain to me how your enabling the defaulted disabled repos while not understanding what you were doing, your PEBCAK if you will, is Fedora's fault? IMMV but I make the effort to know what I am doing *before* I do it. It's safer that way. ;-) - -- David -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) iD8DBQFHWryuAO0wNI1X4QERAuFXAKDokeCYCbG5Q0i0G3G69pdMNbwNbgCg7SUH jgKQFutpPAHKwTBbbo3hlAw= =DxAO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
