Hi,
     I was trying to add fedora extra to the list of repositories in
yum.conf file. The added lines r
[fedora-extras-stable]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - extra stable
baseurl=ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.stable
gpgcheck=1

b4 i added these lines, it was working fine. Now it shows the
following error message:

Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Base
Server: Fedora extra 2 - i386 - extra stable
retrygrab() failed for:
  ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/2/i386/RPMS.stable/headers/header.info
  Executing failover method

How do i make fedora extra to work with yum.

Thank you,

with regards,
ashwin
