I'M GETTING D ERROR WHICH IS "Error accessing file for config file:///etc/yum.conf". And i'm not able to play any MP3 songs in my pc. plz help me ...2 get out of this bloody hell error . YOURS PRAMOD [Bylander Mark LC] Dear Pramod, I think the first one is you trying to access the config file incorrectly. Try opening a terminal (Applications>System Tools>Terminal) and typing "su". It will ask you for your root password. The prompt will change into a # to show that you are now all-powerful. From here, you should be able to view and edit the yum.conf file (gedit /etc/yum.conf will open it in a "Notepad"-like window). The MP3 problem is beyond the ambitus of this list, but what you need is to install a few packages from either the rpm.livna.org repository or the RPM-forge alliance -- see www.freshrpms.net. (MP3s are disabled because of some patent issues.) Once you have yum up and working, you can add these repositories. Try installing xmms-mp3, for instance. You can get more specific Fedora help at http://www.fedoraforum.org . Hope this helps.
