Since I mount my FC5 DVD image on a loopback device, my baseurl is as follows: baseurl=ftp://charlesc/pub/fc$releasever/FC-5-i386-DVD.iso On the server, I can do this: [root@charlesc ~]# ls /var/ftp/pub/fc5/FC-5-i386-DVD.iso eula.txt README RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora Fedora README-Accessibility RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-extras fedora.css RELEASE-NOTES RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-rawhide figs RELEASE-NOTES-en.html RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-test GPL repodata RPM-GPG-KEY-rawhide images RPM-GPG-KEY stylesheet-images isolinux RPM-GPG-KEY-beta TRANS.TBL So if I wanted to use your repository (thank you very much :-) I would use: baseurl=http://193.95.34.237/yum/$releasever/$basearch/os/ -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
