You would substitute the variables appropriately: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-9&arch=i386 If you can load that URL without problems, your problem with Yum is elsewhere. Try disabling the fastestmirror plugin. Try interrupting Yum to take a look at the downloaded and cached mirrorlist.txt file before it is removed: > removing mirrorlist with no valid mirrors: > //var/cache/yum/fedora/mirrorlist.txt Do you have enough free space below /var? What happens if you "yum --disablerepo=fedora update"? Same problem with the remaining repositories? > # yum clean metadata > Loaded plugins: fastestmirror > 0 metadata files removed > 0 sqlite files removed > 0 metadata files removed Empty metadata cache prior to running this command? that's strange. Perhaps you've run this more than once. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
