Its empty by the looks of things

If it's empty how can it work? Where can i get a default yum.conf file from??

Perhaps there are entries in yum.repos.d ?

if you can find the mirrors for fedora you should be able to use that as a base, or alternatively check fedoraforum.com

also can i reccomend you use nano (unless your familiar with vi then fair enough)
