I really don't know why you are messing with this yum.conf file in
/home/butters
The main yum.conf file lives in /etc
Me thinks you aren't exiting vi/vim correctly to get those errors. Or
maybe you are killing a ssh session before you exit the vi program...
Try this:
<stuff>$ su -
enter your root password when asked and the prompt changes to this:
<stuff>#
notice the '#' instead of the '$'? That means you are -root- Then do
this:
<stuff># pico /etc/yum.conf
And edit that file to enter your mirrors. Control-O writes the file
out, control-X exits pico cleanly.
Hope that helps;

While opening file "yum.conf"
(1) Another program may be editing the same file.
If this is the case, be careful not to end up with two
different instances of the same file when making changes.
Quit, or continue with caution.
(2) An edit session for this file crashed.
If this is the case, use ":recover" or "vim -r yum.conf"
to recover the changes (see ":help recovery").
If you did this already, delete the swap file ".yum.conf.swp"
to avoid this message.
"yum.conf" [New File]
Hit ENTER or type command to continue
I have no idea where the swp file is even after a 'whereis command,
what is happening here?
ydl 4.0 and a pismo g3 500,
I need to get rid of that file or files it seems but have no clue, I
did everything that the message said but to know avail
