I went through the files in the yum.repos.d directory including
fedora.repo, fedora-updates.rep and fedora-updates-testing.repo, and
swapped out the baseurl lines with macro variables with an absolute
repo's URL, ie: #baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/ baseurl=http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/fedora.redhat/linux/releases/13/Everything/x86_64/os/ That worked. I was able to install base OS and follow all the other steps. I am now having a different issue with the tftp timing out on the diskless workstation, but that may be related to the motherboard's built-in Ethernet port or a conflict with dnsmasq and tftpd. Still working on that, but if taking the macro variables out of the baseurl gives anyone a hint as to what this problem was, please let me know. I was not having any problems with normal yum updates, just installing the OS into a different directory, so I will probably switch the baseurl back. Thank you for any help.
