Darren~ I guessed at the first entry in yum.conf (which was wrong). Thanks for the update. I entered the line in yum.conf exactly as below (why a German server?) and got the following output from yum: Gathering header... Server: ATrpms for Fedora... Retrygrab() failed for: http://apt.physik.de/fedora/2/en/$basesearch/at-stable/headers/header.info Executing failover method Failover: out of servers to try Error getting file http://<repeat-of-above> [Errno 4] IOerror: HTTP error 404: Not Found Did I type this wrong, or is the server really busy? Thanks for the help.
