I had issues with yum, I also had to change my repos.
you need to edit your fedora.repo and fedora-updates.repo to use different repositories. the standard ones were dead for me.
Im on the train now but will post them when I get home.

see if everyone chips in there 2 cents...perhaps the knowledge could be turned into easy fedora?!?!?
btw if I buy an sd card then can I setup fedora as a dual boot and still retain the option of chrooting into it from maemo? if so I will go out today and buy an 8gb sd card...

Chroot will work from a bootable rootfs.
Booting does not necessarily work from a chroot-specific image though.
(case in point: easy-debians rootfs is not a complete rootfs of debian, just what you need to get a stable chroot, so booting wouldn't work. OTOH: Mer, and other full bootable debians, were a full rootfs that you could boot too, and also chroot into if you wanted.)

Edit your fedora.repo to look like this
You may as well delete the file and remake it it and just copy this into it.
And the same goes for your fedora-updates.repo
This should provide you with a working yum, after you rebuild the database.

ok stage one: downloaded via jebber link
extracted into /home/user/MyDocs/Fedora.
got lots of "cannot change file to uid gid 0" (or something to that effect) which cannot be good during the 1 1/2 hour extract. did a simple /usr/sbin/chroot and told not permitted. Will now start reading jebber info.

That's a FAT formatted filesystem (Unless you've changed it yourself) and doesn't support several of the necessary modes (executables, permissions) and file-types (soft links) required by a rootfs.
You need to extract that to an ext3 formatted area somewhere.

anyone else want "easy fedora"
RPM's aren't my thing, but why the hell not
I love to have many options.

Ok.. Maybe I am now up for this idea... Ignore my first post!
LETS DO IT!
Has anyone created a 2GB ext3 loop back?
(Taken and adapted from Meego)
Creating a loopback image from a tarball
None of the above may actually work. It's just an idea, Qole would be the best for this....
But!! I want to help! FEDORA!
