    Cannot update

    whenever I try to update my system or download a package I get the message:

    Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: adobe-linux-i386. Please verify its path and try again

    I have tried editing the /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo file and yum cleanall. I'm at a loss for what to do next.

    It seems like there is a problem with the adobe-linux-i386 repo. You can disable it in /etc/yum.repos.d/adobe-linux-i386.repo or when doing something with yum, use the --disablerepo flag e.g.
    Code:
    yum --disablerepo=adobe-linux-i386 update

    is it your new install?
    and you are trying to update for first time?
    FC.10 had a bug.
    Sorry, it was unintentional.
    You should have told me at least once and i could have fix it.
    thanks for reminding me.

    Disable Adobe Linux repo as suggested by daark.child. If it works fine, disable it permanently in /etc/yum.repos.d folder.
    Code:
    yum --disablerepo=adobe-linux-i386 update
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
