The problem I think is that not all mirrors have exactly the same directory tree structure. The syntax is somewhat different from the yum syntax so the $releasever and $basearch aren't being properly translated (I think, I'm probably wrong). And trying to search around with gftp or mozilla, then duping that path displayed into synaptic also seems to missfire. -- Cheers Steven, Gene There are 4 boxes to be used in defense of liberty.
