Hello Ralf and Jeff, thank you for your answers. 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
Or you could just go to the websites of each project where they provide the release rpms.
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.
Why does that matter? dnf will use the metalink and find the mirrors that are available. What are you trying to do?
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. ;)
You can run pure 64-bit if you want. The 32-bit libraries are just available if necessary, for example wine or various third-party applications.
