F17 yum not updating

[Beartooth]

	I've never really gotten my head clear around the concept of a 
path. What am I doing wrong here? How & where do I fix it? And how did I 
get into this?

 Check your repolist

yum repolist -v

It looks like, you have a installation/upgrade CD repos configured as
primary/only? If that's true, you may have to add distro repos and baseurls
by downloading from distro website or editing manully.

Hmm, I didn't know you could incorporate CentOS repos into Fedora, but
no mind, the obvious error is that it can't read the files.  

Are those file:// links for CentOS returned from a WWW server, or are
they *your* local files for CentOS?

If it's coming from a internet mirror, it's broken.  Try another one, or
inform them of the fault.

If you're including your own /media/CentOS/something... along with
internet repos:
Is /media/CentOS mounted?
Can you read those files with anything else?

trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the
