Because I went to website that gave an "easy install" command to install 
amarok. I ran the command and assumed that amarok was installed. When 
'amarok' did not invoke the program I tried other words in the 
information that was coming up on the screen - I tried 'livna' as that 
appeared to be the name of the package (that was advertised as being 
'amarok').

Yeah, that's what is not working here. I'm trying to find,

1. The url of a repository that is working, and

2. what line to add to what configuration file so that yum will point to 
a repository that is working.

http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] 
IOError: <urlopen error (113, 'No route to host')>
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: 
adobe-linux-i386. Please verify its path and try again

This thread has taken a detour (from iPod to Amarok to yum) because my 
yum is not working.
