For some reason I am having trouble with yum on one of my FC6 boxes.
It is an older, slower machine, but I don't have any trouble browsing
the web on it, but yum is very very slow, and when I try to update or
install on it, I keep getting error messages like the following.
# yum update

You have tried several mirrors resturning 404 errors - those servers
didn't have the requested file, at the address the client requested it.
This happens from time to time, thanks to mirrors being out of sync (not
being ready). Eventually yum should find one that's okay, but sometimes
you might have to try a few times, or wait a while for the mirrors to
finish sorting themselves out.
No, he has a problem with his upgrade from FC5 to FC6. It's trying to get
.fc5 packages from an FC6 updates repo. There should not be any such
packages in updates.
How do I fix this? I tried doing a clean install with FC6, but it kept
having trouble
with the video card. I even tried a text install, and then did a yum
update, and still
could not get it to work. The machine I am trying to upgrade is an HP
Vectra VL8
with a Matrox MGA G100 card.
Thanks for the replies.
