Hello,

I have tinkered a little since my last post.  I removed the fedora-release
rpm and now get a different but similar error.  This was an upgrade from
Fedora 2. A clean install was not an option as I run 4 websites off this
system.

Instead of yum looking for '2' as the $releasever as previously posted, now
that I have removed the fedora-release .rpm, it now indicates 'Null' as the
release version.  I re-installed the wbel-release .rpm but to no effect.
There is no yum error log.  It looks for the 'Null' directory on each mirror
but errors because it cannot change to that directory because it does not
exist.

There has to be another package I need to install to correct this but I
can't figure which one.  I have the current versions of wbel-release and yum
installed.

Again, thanks for everyone's help!
