You need a base url such as this in '/etc/yum.repos.d'
[freshrpms]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Freshrpms
baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/freshrpms/
#mirrorlist=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/mirrors-freshrpms
enabled=1
gpgkey= file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-freshrpms
gpgcheck=1

ok, so instead of doing the
rpm -ivh http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/5/freshrpms-release/freshrpms-release-1.1-1.fc.noarch.rpm step, i downloaded the .rpm and installed it locally...
now after examining the freshsrpms.repo file in /etc/yum.repo.d, it says
# $Id: freshrpms.repo 3341 2005-06-28 18:40:26Z thias $
[freshrpms]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Freshrpms
#baseurl= http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/freshrpms/
mirrorlist=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/mirrors-freshrpms
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-freshrpms
gpgcheck=1
so i reallly cant find out whats wrong
