I have the packages only in the ftp server. yum is saying that failed to find the headers. My ftp server's directory structure is like the link http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/os but, without the headers and SRPMs directories. Is there a way to use yum to install packages with yum from this ftp server also? thanks, ramana.
