yum configuration has changed for FC3. There is a generic /etc/yum.conf file 
that you use to set options that will apply to all repositories (like the 
"main" section in FC2 yum.conf), and then separate files in the 
/etc/yum.repos.d for each repository. So, to convert from FC2, split your 
existing yum.conf into separate files for each repository and put the files in 
directory /etc/yum.repos.d. Then rename /etc/yum.conf.rpmnew to /etc/yum.conf 
so set up the defaults. Change distroverpkg in the resulting yum.conf from 
redhat-release to fedora-release. Everything should then work as before.
