Re: fun with RPMs

and find the /etc/yum.repos.d file.
I *think* that I found the RPM; on the dvd, in the directory 'Packages'
is "rpm-4.4.2.2-3.fc8.i386.rpm" - is that the file I need? (For a
download, it's .../os/Packages.)
I opened it with the archive manager. My problem is that I can't find
that repos file.
What's the story?
I think it would be helpful if you try to describe the "repository issue"
you are trying to fix. At least I don't know what you really mean by "find
the RPM for this release".
