I finally found the repos descriptions here: ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora-secondary/releases/26/Everything/i386/os/Packages/f/fedora-release-26-1.noarch.rpm ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/local/fedora/26/i386/os/Packages/bellet-release-26-1.noarch.rpm ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/remi/fedora/26/remi/i386/remi-release-26-2.fc26.remi.noarch.rpm ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/rpmfusion/free/fedora/releases/26/Everything/i386/os/Packages/r/rpmfusion-free-release-26-1.noarch.rpm ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/rpmfusion/nonfree/fedora/releases/26/Everything/i386/os/Packages/r/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-26-1.noarch.rpm ftp://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/planetccrma/mirror/fedora/linux/planetccrma/26/i386/planetccrma-repo-1.1-3.fc26.ccrma.noarch.rpm My troubles were especially with the determination of the places of the Fedora repos itself - thanks to my error with the evaluation of the metalink reference to the Fedora 26/i386 mirror list, and also because I did not find mirrors on any server I used before. The explanation was simple - while the metalink https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-26&arch=x86_64 returns 77 sites of mirrors, the metalink for i386 return only 5 (!) sites - that were not the ones I was looking for. Reason why I'm using i386 arch - I have quite a number 8+ year old PCs, that are quite sufficient for work and have only 0.5 - 2 GB of RAM. (and although some of them should perhaps run on x86_64, I do not like actual 32- and 64-bit SW mishmash on x86_64 (F26/x86_64 release has 19281 x86_64.rpm packages and 8200 .i[3456]86.rpm - 30%!). 10+ years ago I was More than ten years ago I worked with Linux on DEC Alpha servers/ws, and pure 64-bit wasn't problem - and now, 15 years later, we still sin for the backward compatibility of x86_64 architecture. ;) -- Thanks, Franta Hanzlík _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
