Depending on your installation
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/11/Fedora/x86_6
4/os/Packages/fedora-release-11-1.noarch.rpm
or
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/11/Fedora/i386/
os/Packages/fedora-release-11-1.noarch.rpm
I grabbed that on this laptop and put it on a pendrive, but so far haven't
figured out how to identify the pendrive and mount it.
One other thing.. You should make sure that you're *.rep files under
/etc/yum.repos.d have not been configured so that they are only able to get
things from the Fedora 10 repos that is
where on the line baseurl and / or mirrorlist where it should read
"$releasever" it says "10"
No, they weren't, but that made me think of temporarily changing the repos to
11 instead of releasever. That didn't work. Presumably the url has changed
(urlopen error). I thought I had vi'd every repo, disabling everything except
fedora.repo and fedora-updates.repo, setting them to use '11', but no joy -
I'm still seeing F10 packages found. I don't mind using the command line but
there is simply no quick way of finding out which repo is still enabled.
I hate being beaten, but this is wasting a huge amount o time. I think it
would be quicker to download the DVD and start afresh.
