Hrm... I just tried that url myself and it seems to work ok. The line with "[Errno 4]" is really not more verbose? That's all you get? This is some sort of network error. Try that link from the same machine and see what you get. Do this from the same machine: python /usr/share/yum/urlgrabber.py http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/1/i386/os/headers/header.info header.info (all one line) Also, use lynx or links or something and see what happens. -Michael -- Michael D.
