I've been trying to edit that and have it thoroughly fubared.
If I can't restore what was there, and amanda doesn't try to track that
lappy, what is the correct contents for the "mirrorlist=" line in
fedora-core.repo?
Where can I download a replacement for the contents of /etc/yum.repos.d?
I've had google searching for it, but all it can seem to find is the livna
setup instructions. They seem to be fine.
