Hi, I don't know whats going on but yumex gives this error in FC5 "Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: base failure: repodata/repomd.xml from base: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try." But this repo "[david@reddwarf ~]$ sudo vim /etc/yum.repos.d/local-base" contains # planetmirror base# http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os
ftp://reddwarf:[password]@premium.planetmirror.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/ #ftp://reddwarf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/ #http://premium.planetmirror.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/ ftp://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/redhat/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/os/ http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/redhat/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/os/ http://mirror.optus.net/fedora/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/ ftp://mirror.optus.net/fedora/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/ ftp://ftp.wicks.co.nz/pub/linux/dist/fedora/5/i386/os/ ~ And the weird part is yum has no problem with it and works ok Thanks david
