/etc/yum.conf

| Somehow I appear to have corrupted my /etc/yum.conf
| and lost my base url and who knows what else.

| Could Redhatter mail a legit /etc/yum.conf to me.

What are the symptoms?  There are no URLs in yum.conf.  They show up
in files within /etc/yum.repos.d/

I've included the yum.conf from a Fedora Core 5 system I have
(probably closer to your system than my Fedora Core 11).

On that system:
  $ rpm -qf /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-core.repo 
  fedora-release-5-5

You could try (adjusted for your release):
  $ rpm -V fedora-release-5-5
That would tell you what .repo files got munged (if any).
On my system, it prints:
  S.5....T  c /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo
but that is expected because I had manually edited that file.
