[root@localhost /]#

what do these errors mean and how do i resolve them?

can't be for sure but it looks like someone has mucked up a couple of lines in the binary installers that you are downloading. did this start happening or is this the first time you have ran yum?

i ma sure i did not muckup with the scripts but this happened in the very first instance

was this before or after you logged out and logged back in ( or rebooted)

did you by chance turn on the " rawhide" repo ( that is fedora 11 alpha)
if so turn it off
to see what in on and off run
--
yum repolist all

also try this
