Using ftp means that yum will fail every now and then because the server has a max number of users. Using http generally works better much better for automated things like yum cronjobs. But if http://mirrors.usc.edu isn't working for you, then I'd like to know. Can you successfully download that .hdr with wget or another http client? http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/yum-repository/mandrake/updates/9.2/i586/headers/XFree86-server-0-4.3-24.1.92mdk.i586.hdr' Can you visit http://mirrors.usc.edu in a web browser? -- Garrick Staples, Linux/HPCC Administrator University of Southern California -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
