I have tried this this command as root also.

For yum it looks like you have a corrupt /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo file post it and we can see.

How are you becoming root?

Looks ok, as far as I can tell. Try a

Quote:

yum clean all

(general fixer) and then rerun the update.

With F7 hitting EOL(End of Life) it could be that some of the mirrors are dropping out a couple of days early.

On the other issue; How are you becoming root?

sky rulz · 07-23-2008, 11:30 PM

hai laz,

how to give the proxy password to the yum command for downloading the rpm from the available mirrors..

i was becoming root using the su command.

as for a yum mirror for 7 i think the only one left is
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...ux/releases/7/
and livna
http://livna-dl.reloumirrors.net/fedora/7/
but there are NO MORE UPDATES

Quote:

i was becoming root using the su command.

the correct command is " su - " with the " - " minus sign
for example

Code:

su -
( your root pass)
fdisk -l

see

Code:

 man fdisk
