I tried 2 Dutch and 1 belgium mirror but both are missing the repomd.xml:
Setting up Update Process
Setting up Repos
http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/caoslinux/centos/4/addons/i386/repodata/repomd.xml:
[Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
Trying other mirror.
Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: addons
failure: repodata/repomd.xml from addons: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to
try.
And the german mirror seemed offline?
Does anyone know another mirror which has a good mirror.
