ok

yes, i checked all, here is what i have found:

1. there are 3 types of  things in any repo: [core], [core-debuginfo]
& [core-source]
2. [core] is enabled in all repos whereas the other 2 are disables in all repos
3. in every repo, "baseurl" is commented-out (with #) whereas
"mirrorlist" is not.


amit, now what?
