Where did this URL come from?  Are you still looking for the Fedora.us
(aka Fedora Extras) repos?

http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/1/i386/yum/stable/



I dunno. <*shrug*> That is the output that I get when I run
"yum install apt", from a root console.



After you made the changes below? Notice that I gave you the correct URL
above.


Please bear with me <G> ... I realize that I might be trying your patience. The first
*three* entries in my yum.conf are the defaults, save that I removed the REM (#)
from the third one.


FWIW: Here's my yum.conf file to which I've added the last two
entries:


[snip]


[stable]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Stable
baseurl=http://fedora.redhat.com/stable/fedora-core-$releasever

[unstable]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Unstable
baseurl=http://fedora.redhat.com/unstable/fedora-core-$releasever



Quick sanity check, replace $releasever with 1 (since this is Fedora Core 1), put these URLs into your favorite web browser, and you will see that these two don't exist. To double check, add "/headers/header.info" to the end to try to get the header info file. Still don't exist.

I *think* I'm beginning to follow you. And I do agree. These do not show when
I use them in mozilla. I get a 404 instead. So, my mistake was simply copying the
first line of yum.conf, and just *adding* "stable" and "unstable"?


Also, (sorry) I *ought to have mentioned this before*. I decided to add the extra
two entries when I had started to get an error when running yum from the root
console. Getting a bit confused now, so (if I may test your patience a wee bit
more...) would you kindly give me some "dummied / newibieized" instructions
on what *exactly* I should enter in those two extra entries, and / or if there
is something I need to correct in the default (first three) ones?


TIA,

Elton.
