The server is one of the mirror sites, and the path is the directory on the mirror to where the "repodata" directory is located. For example, on the "University of Nebraska Lincoln" mirror for an i386 install: server: mirror.unl.edu path: /fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/i386/os/ I went to fedoraproject.org, selected "get fedora," selected "see all mirrors" down nearer the bottom of the page, and used the area at the top right of the mirrors list to only show me F8 i386 mirrors. BTW, as I recall, there's some issue with the first slash on the path name. Either it's required or you must exclude it--I can't remember which. Also, I had a problem with http and just used ftp. -- Mark C.
