Hello Michael and Seth, my apologies for incomplete feedback yes there is a proxy and here's what I got when I ran that line : [root@canada /]# python /usr/share/yum/urlgrabber.py http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/9/i386/yum/os/headers/header.info header.info throttle: 1.0, throttle bandwidth: 32768 B/s [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (113, 'No route to host')> [root@canada /]# Also, use lynx or links or something and see what happens. Sorry I am not yet familiar with either :-( I ran lynx from prompt and got nothing Hello, YUM has been installed by rpm. Clean Install.

Is there a proxy (transparent or otherwise) in the way? 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.
