In a seperate window: repodata/repomd.xml from core: [errno 256] No more 
mirrors to try.

Several of my files in /etc/yum.repos.d have been edited, and paths are 
probably AFU, it might be best to just replace the default file so I know 
they're good again, but there doesn't seem to be a net accessable set of 
these files available that google can find.  The yum rpm is empty in that 
part of the tree.  Bummer...
