It started as "Fedora Linux" an add-ons project for Red Hat Linux. http://www.fedora.us/fedora-merge.html Let's take a closer look at your URL from above (I think there's a table somewhere explaining the structure, too): http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora.us/fedora/redhat/9/i386/yum/stable/RPMS/. http://mirrors.kernel.org/ => this is a server mirroring several other serves http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora.us/ => this is a mirror of http://download.fedora.us http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora.us/fedora/ => this second "fedora" directory has nothing to do with "Fedora Core" => it is just a top directory at the master site http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora.us/fedora/redhat/ => this is the root directory of the add-ons for Red Hat Linux The root directory of the add-ons for Fedora Core would be: http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora.us/fedora/fedora/ http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora.us/fedora/redhat/9/ => this is the root of the add-ons for Red Hat Linux 9 In it you find RPMS.os : Red Hat Linux 9 RPMS.updates : Red Hat Linux 9 Errata + Fedora Legacy Updates for Red Hat Linux 9 RPMS.updates-testing : -not used with Red Hat Linux - RPMS.stable : Extras for Red Hat Linux 9 RPMS.testing : Extras for Red Hat Linux 9 RPMS.unstable : Extras for Red Hat Linux 9 and the same for source rpms. > In any event, I think I will leave them out for a while until I get a little > better feel for fedora-legacy.
