I had this figured out a while back but I am once again lost. This the error after a clean install and I try 'dnf install indent' to add to my system:


Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'fedora':

It seems after installing several times the system will not let me download any more rpms. The password is correct I used network install to install this system but the password isn't being saved to where it is supposed to be being saved. I cannot access the network anymore.

What password and what does that have to do with the network? You need to provide a lot more info for anyone to help you. All that I see here is that you can't resolve a hostname.  So either you have no network or your dns isn't working.

I am not quite sure what to provide. When I install I turn on the wifi and enter the router's password. It pulls DNS ip addresses and installs from the network fine. When I reboot and try to use dnf nothing can be reached and I get the above error. What information do you need?

That's a good start.
Do you have a gui or how are you entering the commands?
Is wifi connected?
(You didn't even mention anything about wifi in the original email.)
If it's connected, can you ping the gateway?
Can you ping a known hostname?

My network is called "local" and the packets are not lost. I also ping 127.0.0.1 and it's fine. When I ping www.google.com I get the response "temporary failure in name resolution". No website can be reached.

"local" is not really a network. That's the loopback interface and it's always available. The packets don't leave your machine. If you pinged something like 8.8.8.8 that would be more useful. But you didn't even answer most of the questions...
