thanks for the response.  I have:

adobe-linux-i386.repo
fedora-rawhide.repo
fedora-updates-testing.repo
fedora-updates.repo
fedora.repo
rpmfusion-free-rawhide.repo

and only "fedora-rawhide.repo" mentions "rawhide" in the mirrorlist 
variable - all the others look normal to me.  Should I delete 
"fedora-rawhide.repo" ?

Thanks,

Phil.
