my FC7 install has stopped receivning updates since tried (unsucesfully) to install some adobe plugins for firefox.
I get this message if i try a manual update;
http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux...ta/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2007 17:24:40 GMT

Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: adobe-linux. Please verify its path and try again
[root@localhost rob]#

I feel certain that something i've done during my attempt to sort out the firefox pluggins has messed things up. Any idea how to fix this??

I'm assuming you are using yum and not apt...

Yum repos can be in two places... In /etc/yum.conf itself, or as a separate file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ . If it's a separate file in the repos directory, all you need to do is edit it as root, and change the line enabled=1 to enabled=0. Yum will then skip that repo.

Then, you can update from the other repos while you try to get that one running. I have it in my list, and working, but I'm not running a 64-bit system. Mine looks like...

$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/adobe-linux-i386.repo

[adobe-linux-i386]
name=Adobe Systems Incorporated
baseurl=http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/i386/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux

Adobe has forbidden access to the server by a browser, so you can't browse the directories. Using wget, I can download the repodata.xml out of the i386 branch, but not from a x86_64 branch... It says it doesn't exist. Searching Google shows there might not BE a 64-bit Flash, yet.
