I have a backup copy of my old yum.conf saved using this:

I did cd /etc and then mv yum.conf yum.conf.vtedu -- which will tell me more when I forget it and look .... I hope the effect is the same.
I'll keep poking at this sample yum.conf and will keep the list updated with how it's going. If there are others interested in helping develop it, feel free to experiment and post what you find!
OK : the thread has ended there for more like a month than a week. So is it all right to take over now? And is that last commented line with "#cp ..." to be added into the taken over stuff?? (If so, where?) Or just done once before taking over your kind work?
I've been using it without problems to maintain my FC1 system at the office. The # was to indicate that I had done this at a root prompt -- not a comment. You need to be root to change your yum.conf while in /etc/
I've got a copy of it saved at this url: http://penguinsolutions.org/fedora/yum.conf
Hack at the repo mirrors to select ones that are close to you, and have a go at it. The location for the repo mirrors are in the comments of the yum.conf.
Got it -- and since I'm in Western VA, the closest to you are also the closest to me; I didn't even need to do that last step.

Oh and where do I post something to sing the praises of the fedoralegacy folks? That wad of stuff that scrolled by was *very* impressive ....
