Continued attempts to get FC5T2 working.

[einstuerzende]

Okay, so the last time we tried this, I couldn't get X to work. At all. I tried a yum update, but there's something loused up about my yum.conf.

Whew.

So I figured it's time to replace the yum.conf with the one from the machine that's now running FC5T2 quite handily. That seems simple enough, and maybe this is hideously n00bish, but I just can't get it to work. I've just burned them to CD (yeah, they're tiny, but it seemed sane), and now am trying to mount the CD from the command line I get with the rescue disc. It tells me to enter chroot /mnt/sysimage to actually get things started, which may be my first mistake. I can't seem to mount the CD's to then copy yum.conf and yum.repos.d to where I'd like them. Anyone have suggestions? Will I not be able to do it if I'm all "chroot /mnt/sysimage"-ed in? Should I just yank out the hard-drive and do it directly through the other computer?

I admit it! I'm a total Linux wuss. Help?

Hi:
I think? I understand what you are trying to do, so just a suggestion dunno if it will help or not, however, ..... if you have not tried this before.
I would first boot to the rescue / FC5 disc1 and chroot /mnt/sysimage
then do a yum clean all, yum update yum and then do a yum udpate, it may accomplish / fix the things much easier.

Cheers
