to run updates. I got about a hundred or so messages which seem to boil
down to missing repos, or perhaps moved or renamed. here's a sample:

So I'd like to do all available updates, then work for a while then
update. Does anyone see how I can fix the missing repos issue? if that's
what's actually going on.
Fedora versions go end of life about every year (well, two releases
later). F18 went end of life when F20 was released about three years
ago. I really doubt there updates available on any current mirrors. You
might be able to get updates from one of the archival mirror sites but
it's so out of date, you'll be hard pressed to find any.
Lots of luck with that one. Remember that CentOS is longer-lived than
Fedora, so if you think you're going to need something that'll live
longer than two years, go CentOS. After all, Fedora eventually becomes
CentOS. That's what we are--the experimental lab rats for Red Hat.
It's a-MAZE-ing! (really bad pun, but I couldn't resist)
