David: Thanks for the reminder that my FC5 CDs are not just for the
first install. :)
I tried your suggestion, and downloaded the rpm and ran:
# rpm -Uvh fedora-release-5-5.noarch.rpm
Preparing... ###########################################
[100%]
package fedora-release-5-5 is already installed
I think I need to find a working directory at /etc/yum.repos.d to
replace the fedora directories I deleted from that directory and from
/var/cache/yum
Thanks, Tom
