I have both Beefy on a desktop machine & a laptop. On the
desktop
variety, `yum update` works fine but on the laptop it's always throwing
errors (timing out, 401s, etc).
The laptop was upgraded from 12 -> 15 -> 16 -> 17 using preupgrade as &
when the new releases became available & the desktop was a clean install
from a Live CD.
What I'd like to do is check that the laptop is using the same sources
for Fedora Releases as the desktop & if, as I suspect, it's not, change
it so as not to encounter these errors.
I've tried Googling on the subject but I'm just seeing results for
`/etc/yum.repos` which are not the source files with the relevant
information I'll need so if anyone can point me to the relevant config
files, I'd appreciate it.
IMO, it is better to copy/paste the errors and show them to people. This will better
enable people comment what is going on.
