No, the bug is about http://www.fedoralegacy.org/download/ I wouldn't mind adding it the page you mention though, if it is indeed supported as you say.

I'm not sure we disagree, since we're talking about different docs. The bug references the download page, you reference the FC1 yum docs. > rob. -- Eric Rostetter -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
