I dont think i can fix this until i fix the first problem, I am using the preview of fedora 9, so when i install the final virsion it will just up my following system, so i know that the problem isn't because im using the preview of fedora 9 (alsohad the same problem with the stable version of fedora 8)

How are you connected to the internet? You can get this problem trying to g othrough a proxy, but I'd imagine misconfigured firewalls or routers forwarding would cause similar effect.

For dvds, try installing libdvdcss2 (or maybe libdvdcss), but you'd better sort yum first

im connected to a neighbor's connection and cant get on to my house connection (other help topic) that explains that problem, so it might be a proxy

Pretty sure you have your repo mis configured. The address you have listed above does not exist. Any address you use in a repo you should be able to move into your browser and look at.

but this happens every time i try to download something. how do i configure my repo properly?

Fair point lazlow

Instructions for atrpm here: http://www.atrpms.net/install.html

yum: Make sure the following lines are included in /etc/yum.conf:

i don't understand that, the instruction on the site are confusing

I cant insert http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...reenshot-3.jpg

what do i replace $basearch and $releasever with?

Ok - type the first line verbatum (you'll need to be root)

cd /etc/yum.repos.d

you should then create a file called atrmps.repo (I prefer this approach to putting repos in /etc/yum.conf but you can do either)

Add the second code box to this file.

Off the top of my head, my keystrokes would be:

select rpm --import http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms with mouse and control insert to copy it.

open a terminal session as root.

shift insert to paste the line previosly copied and hit return - wait for it to import

then (keystrokes unless in ()):
(copy the second code box starting at [ and ending with 1 using your mouse and control insert)
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo
i<shift insert> (ie - type i then hit shift and insert to paste the code previously copied - i puts vi into insert mode)
<escape>:wq
You're done

note that hitting escape pts vi back into command mode, :wq writes changes and quits.

Let us know how you go

Nothing - yum will do that when it runs

you should then create a file called atrmps.repo (I prefer this approach to putting repos in /etc/yum.conf but you can do either)


wat?
