Are you using Debian terminology for repositories? If yes, then "/etc/yum.repos.d/" is indeed the right place. If it is indeed a repo mirror problem, the output of the following should help. $ yum repolist Check if you the "baseurl" line is commented out in the enabled repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d/. For more info you can look at `man yum.conf'. GL -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
