Increasing the timeout as suggested by Thomas would be a good idea. You might also want to try using a more local mirror of the Fedora Extras repository (the default configuration only uses the download.fedora.redhat.com site at the moment, which is often very busy). Try editing /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-extras.repo and change it from this: [extras] name=Fedora Extras $releasever - $basearch #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/$releasever/$basearch/ mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-extras-$releasever enabled=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-extras gpgcheck=1 to this: [extras] name=Fedora Extras $releasever - $basearch #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/$releasever/$basearch/ #mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-extras-$releasever baseurl=http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/$releasever/$basearch/ http://mirror.optus.net/fedora/extras/$releasever/$basearch/ enabled=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-extras gpgcheck=1 Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
