Ok I have done everything correctly as far as I can tell. Nearly everything I have read talks about how yum works "out of the box" with FC4, but for the life of me I can't get it to work for anything. I exported my proxy setting since I initially was getting nowhere. Then I kept getting messages about "Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates-released ok, well all the provided repo files have baseurl commented out, so I uncommented the line in fedora-updates.repo and got this output: Setting up repositories http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Date: Wed, 02 Nov 2005 19:09:39 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.43 (Unix) Content-Length: 339 Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Trying other mirror. Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: updates-released failure: repodata/repomd.xml from updates-released: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. Error: failure: repodata/repomd.xml from updates-released: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. I find that as extremely strange since I can put the entire URL: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/i386/repodata/repomd.xmlin my browser and the xml file is shown fine. It isn't the proxy that I am going through because I know of at least one other person who works where I do that has no problems. what the heck is going on here? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
