i did; to a t and still get the error

No, you did not. You must have a line in yum.conf or an extra repos file that lists an fc4 repos source that is out of date. Delete any extra repos files other than the ones in the thread. Look in yum.conf for this fc4 source and delete it if its in there. There iis already an fc5 updates repos file that you should have created. You are not configured right.

i'm running the yum.conf in the UPDATED whatever file that i downloaded. the .repo files are EXACTLY to what was in the thread...

What am I doing wrong here?

I did get KDE to install and i'm running it now, it would just be nice to use a graphical package manager instead of yum. Also why won't yum read from my DVD. I wound up copying the rpms from the dvd to the /var/cache/xxxx folders and made yum install them.

[ssjahrodss]

did you get your RPM-GPG-KEY? are you using fc or ydl? when you try add/remove software... with ydl-extra did you put the ydl dvd in drivre?
the only file you need is yum.conf dont take blabla.repo delet them all. in /var/cache/yum/ to , yum.conf will make all new file no repositories bug
here my ultimat yum conf work wonderfull for me and i foud all this alone after one week in linux world

ss, nice 298 GB hard drive you have there, is it a USB drive? what make?

[ssjahrodss]

yep usb acomdata 298 gig for my torrent on ps3 ,formated fat 32 and i mount it like this:mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda3 .

[Krack3n]

what is this "RPM-GPG-KEY" is that a piece of software or a key generated by another program?

And yes I had the ydl 5 dvd in the drive and yum would not copy the rpms from it, it downloaded them, slowly, until i found wher eit hid them then overwrote them from the dvd, tricking yum into installing them.

And so basically I need to delete my yum.conf and all my .repo files in /etc/yum and /etc/repo.d ? and then use your yum.conf file?

There needs to be an all in one writeup step by step for us non ydl users. I'm used to downloading source and compiling everything, you think this would be easier.
