Please read RepositoryMixingProblems to understand the compatibility problems of mixing repositories." I missed the Red Hat Linux part. However, for those that might be following this thread and a new to fedora, if one goes to the channels page, http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraChannels, one finds the fedora.us for Red Hat Linux 8.0 and 9 channel table. It may be of use to add a link to those tables on the fedoralegacy pages. > Let's take a closer look at your URL from above (I think there's > a table somewhere explaining the structure, too): http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraChannels Channel Name Description Base Distribution os packages from the original distribution updates updates from Red Hat + updates from FedoraLegacy updates-testing updates from FedoraLegacy currently in testing before publication Extras (add-ons) stable add-ons believed to be stable and wont interfere with other software testing add-ons with known defects or otherwise unproven unstable add-ons with severe known defects or that may interfere with other software Legacy (add-ons) legacy minimal support tools for Legacy servers > > 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 OK, I see how it fits together http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora.us/fedora/redhat/9/i386/ gets us to RPMS.os/ 01-Apr-2003 10:55 - RPMS.stable/ 11-May-2004 12:33 - RPMS.testing/ 08-May-2004 02:19 - RPMS.unstable/ 02-Jan-2004 01:49 - RPMS.updates-testing/ 03-May-2004 15:27 - RPMS.updates/ > 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. Your explanation is much clearer than the table alone. Then that must mean that http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora.us/fedora/redhat/9/i386/yum/ os/ 01-Apr-2003 02:10 - stable/ 12-May-2004 08:53 - testing/ 12-May-2004 08:53 - unstable/ 12-May-2004 08:53 - updates/ 05-May-2004 03:01 - is the same thing, but in yum format. > > In any event, I think I will leave them out for a while until I get a little > > better feel for fedora-legacy.

Somehow I have release 1 instead of 0 installed on my system. I do not remember what or why. Maybe something discussed on the chkrootkit mailing list. Leafnode 1.9.54.rc2 is already out. The version may change before it gets out of the publish queue.
