Possible to do a system restore type thing with fedora?

My Fedora is really getting screwy, and it has not even been 24 hours. At first it was okay, now I am having many problems.
I cannot use Pirut, it will not determine the software it says.
I cannot install any RPM's.
Yum will not work.

Is there some type of system restore that returns things to default settings without losing all my data?

You can use the disc's rescue mode ("linux rescue" at install CD boot prompt), and try removing and installing these packages, but I have little knowledge of using the disc for that. It can probably be done if you're familiar with the directory structure. Maybe someone with a spare HD and time to waste can try it?

The opposite would be true for me. Glad everything worked out ok, though.

Yes Christy: I have thos edependencies and NVU still rejects to install.
And phantomcow2: I had the same problem with pirut and so on but in one of the yum updates it got sorted out somehow...
Still trying with NVU. Almost a month and counting...
