You're either not connected to the Internet or your DNS servers weren't able to resolve mirrors.fedoraproject.org. Remember, even a "localinstall" will try to use the various repos to resolve requirements. If you want a completely local install: yum localinstall --disablerepo=* name-of-RPM.rpm And I'd think long and hard before I'd install telnet since it is completely insecure and one of the easiest protocols to hack. If your machine even BRUSHES up against the Internet, do NOT have telnet installed! You're asking for trouble. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - We look for things.
