Dude, you're the man! This is how it should be taught to newbies like us. Thanks a ton
sir it;s not installing vlc..its showing [Errno 256]no more mirrors to try...tell me wat to do
There's probably something wrong in your /etc/yum.repos.d
try running update with yum update if that doesn't work try yum clean all and yum repolist
thanks akshay
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
