When attempting to use "Applications" --> "Add/Remove Software" the

I loaded FC5 on 2 computers and the same message occurs on both.
Any clues to why this is happening?

Is either connected to the internet? This program is pirut, which is a
frontend for yum, which by default just accesses internet yum
repositories, and not local media. You can add a file called
/etc/yum.repos.d/local.repo (there's a howto somewhere, that's been
referenced on this list before) as a temporary workaround, they're
planning to implement this feature in the future. The name "Add/Remove
Software" is misleading.
