Ok, nevermind,

I somehow fixed it. 3 problems mostly with the .repo - still strange, but just for reference:

mirrorlist= does not work, I have to use a valid baseurl
the name= requires the addition of the word "Base" at the end
cannot su to root, must login in as root?  does su not really make you root? just admin?

Thanks!

no!  and I just checked all the dependencies, so I am pretty sure that I did not somehow break python,

Hello,

I am having massive trouble with yum, before and after upgrade to fedora 7

Error: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: fedora


I know I am pointing at a certain repository, but it is sane, and if I use the mirror list, and cant read it, with a similar error - that is the first set.  so it kind of looks like there is some communication error, but I have no clue why.  this happens with or without the firewall, and the urls work - I am totally stuck!  this is the first time in >10yrs of using linux I have had a problem I cannot fix myself!

I appreciate any suggestions!  Thank you!
