I grabbed that on this laptop and put it on a pendrive, but so far haven't 
figured out how to identify the pendrive and mount it.

No, they weren't, but that made me think of temporarily changing the repos to 
11 instead of releasever.  That didn't work.  Presumably the url has changed 
(urlopen error).  I thought I had vi'd every repo, disabling everything except 
fedora.repo and fedora-updates.repo, setting them to use '11', but no joy - 
I'm still seeing F10 packages found.  I don't mind using the command line but 
there is simply no quick way of finding out which repo is still enabled.

I hate being beaten, but this is wasting a huge amount o time.  I think it 
would be quicker to download the DVD and start afresh.
