Is this really "Fedora 6"?? It looks like you have a newer yum.conf than the version of yum supports. What does the following say: rpm -q yum pirut
sorry, clicked wrong fedora version! [user@localhost ~]$ rpm -q yum pirut yum-3.2.7-1.fc8 pirut-1.3.25-2.fc8
Fedora 8 is still very old, and has been EOL for ~18 months. Fedora 12 is almost EOL. To work around the problem you can go into /etc/yum.repos.d and look for the new .repo file which has "7d" in it, and replace it with "604800". However, Fedora 8 will still be buggy and insecure given it's age without any support. Doing an install of Fedora 14 is probably the easiest thing to fix the machine completely.
thank you for your help! downloaded fedora 14 however new problem posed as the aspire one can't open file "/mnt/home/Downloads/Fedora-14-i686-Live-Desktop.iso" as the archive format is not recognised on xarchiver 0.4.9svn-r
That's a CD image, I don't think you want to open it in an "archive" program. Follow the instructions on the Fedora website for making a CD (should be available where you downloaded it). Or just buy a CD/DVD from somewhere.
