There is something I have forgotten or maybe I never really knew. How

I cannot confirm how it got there, but in my /etc/yum.repos.d directory I have
a fedora-legacy.repo file which contains
[legacy-updates]
name=Fedora Legacy $releasever - $basearch - Updates
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/legacy-updates-released-fc$releasever
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1

[legacy-testing]
name=Fedora Legacy $releasever - $basearch - Updates Testing
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/legacy-updates-testing-fc$releasever
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-legacy
Is this what is needed to activate "legacy" support.
I must say my box is FC5 so I haven't worried about it too much.. I have the
normal repos online and these legacy repos disabled.

Look, I can't get any any answer from the fedora-legacy-list on this so
I guess I am invisible. The legacy-updates-testing-fc$releasever for FC4
does not exist and the one for FC5 exists bit is empty. So how does one
get legacy updates?
It looks like there are i386 updates at the below link. There is a
mirror list for ftp and http methods.
