Sorry, typo on my part. Should be fedora-release-10-1.noarch.rpm.
Also put baseurl's into /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
enable=1
Is this where Yum looks? Because they don't seem to match?
Not a surprise. The url was also incorrect or not working for Fedora
9. Go with the default, i.e. mirrorslist, or visit
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist, select a mirror (hope
it's a fast one) close to your location, and enter its url in place of
the fedora server.

Since you have fedora-release-10-1 installed try upgrading yum.

1. My larger problem is that named, messagebus and nfs [FAILED] or
don't work correctly?
2. There are many broken links, most of them within /etc? Should I
delete them? Start over?
3. Unable to do ISO; DVD and USB are no longer readable in 'gui'?
Not network connected.
OR
Can I use any of these recently downloaded files?
kernel-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.src.rpm
rpmfusion-free-stable.noarch.rpm
xine-lib-extras-freeworld-1.1.16.2-1.fc10.i386.rpm
No.
Would like to update by Yum but perhaps other options are
available?
Is is possible to build and implement kernel 10 overwriting the
broken links and getting services working again? simple?
Reluctant to shut down the machine...can someone help??
Thanks,
David..
Go read up on installation methods here:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f10/en_US/ch-other-install-me...
See if the section on "Installation from a hard drive" might work for you.
