I have Fedora 7 installed, works fine, however if I try to "yum update" or "add/remove software" I get - unable to retrieve software information. This could be caused by not having a network connection available. Details - none.

I can access the internet by email & web browser and only have one internet connection.

Any thoughts ?

Try yum update again and post the output here.

My bad. yum --disablerepo=jpackage update. Forgot the two dashes in front of disablerepo. Sorry.

Please post the output of ls /etc/yum.repos.d, but before you do that type yum clean all and try the update again with the --disablerepo=jpackage option.

[root@jack jack]# ls /etc/yum.repos.d
atrpms.repo flash.repo livna.repo
fedora-development.repo freshrpms.repo livna-testing.repo

You can try editing /etc/yum.repos.d/jpackage.repo. There's a line that says enabled=1. You can change it to enabled=0 and try the update again. This time you shouldn't need the disablerepo option. For the record, here's my /etc/yum.repos.d:
[glenn@toshiba ~]$ ls /etc/yum.repos.d/
fedora-development.repo fedora-updates-testing.repo livna.repo
fedora.repo freshrpms.repo livna-testing.repo
fedora-updates.repo livna-devel.repo macromedia-i386.repo
Freshrpms is disabled because of possible conflicts with Livna. I enable it if needed.

What about yum clean all ??
