If you're having trouble with loading yum repositories please note that
Fedora has trashed the mirror list.
URL http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors has been overwriten or
redirected.

yumex error is something like:
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: core
core could be "updates", "extras", etc

Fix your fedora-*.repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d
MAKE BACKUPS FIRST
su
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
mkdir backup
cp *.repo backup
Comment out "mirrorlist=" lines and replace with "basurl=" lines that
are apropriate. Example:
[core]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch

baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/

#mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-$releasever

You can check the if the baseurl is correct by going there.
Substitute...
$releasever with "5" or your version of Fedora Core.
$basearch with "i386" or your version of CPU.
If unsure just go to the the first part of the URL like
"http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux"; and explore.

Hope this helps.
