Barry,

livna is not a standalone repository....  You need to define Fedora
Extras also.

Please review the following article and I suggest that you could simply
download that yum.conf from them.....

Go to the top of the file for a pointer to where to get a yum.conf if
you are running FC1 - the above points to FC2....
