I did a yum groupinstall base after using the above repos.

Before doing that, did you try a yum groupinstall --skipbroken update ?

ok so I used the version quole made available. as yum was working I assumed he used your posting to "fix" the repos. but since his version did not have a successful yum groupinstall Base and yours did I guess I need to reread your posting. and no have not tried the skipbroken yet (hopefully after coping your repo files I will not need it). thanks.

I just deleted the rpm caches and rebuilt the database, I didn't modify the repos. Try that, and see if that gets you a working system. If it does, I'll make the changes in my posted version, too.

will try tomorrow much thanks.

how we can get lxde under xephir like easy debian?

I think I am going to periodically bounce into the fedora forums and chide them on not having anything good for arm.
