Does anyone see how I can fix the missing repos issue? if that's > what's actually going on. Fedora versions go end of life about every year (well, two releases later). F18 went end of life when F20 was released about three years ago. I really doubt there updates available on any current mirrors. You might be able to get updates from one of the archival mirror sites but it's so out of date, you'll be hard pressed to find any. Lots of luck with that one. Remember that CentOS is longer-lived than Fedora, so if you think you're going to need something that'll live longer than two years, go CentOS. After all, Fedora eventually becomes CentOS. That's what we are--the experimental lab rats for Red Hat. It's a-MAZE-ing!
