2) Become the root user and execute the su command as shown below
Code:

Password:
[root@localhost ~]#
3) List the file inside yum repo config directory. You can use ll command or ls -l command, both will display the same result.
Quote:
[root@localhost ~]# ll /etc/yum.repos.d/
total 16
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1785 2009-05-11 18:45 fedora-rawhide.repo
