I've tried changing the yum.conf to either have the 'os' or not in the ftp path, and I've tried masking a link from .../4/i386/repodata to .../4/i386/os/repodata but I cannot seem to get yum to find the file it thinks it should be looking for. It is as if yum is wanting a different repository layout to the one I've got. > You said that this is a fresh FC4 install - as in not an upgrade, > right?

I can cd all the way to repodata/repomd.xml, and read repomd.xml [root@kushana ~]# ftp jjonah Connected to jjonah. <snip> Name (jjonah:root): anonymous 331 Please specify the password.
