The Website page at http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors shows content like - - - We are working hard to bring fedora.redhat.com back up to its fully operational state. Until then, please visit our BitTorrent tracker or list of mirrors if you are trying to download Fedora Core 6. Fedora Infrastructre Team For status updates and information on what systems are affected please visit fedora wiki - - - At the wiki-link, http://fedoraproject.org/static-tmp/FedoraDowntime.html we see - - - Scheduled Fedora Project Infrastructure downtime We are currently under heavy load and experiencing some service interruptions.We are working to correct it. - - - If you are lookintg for specific rpms you can still navigate to lots of repository locations and download rpms as needed. see http://www.fedoratracker.org/ http://www.fedoratracker.org/tracker.py?mode=pkgSearch or http://rpm.pbone.net/ or http://www.filewatcher.com/ http://google.com It's just that yum cannot be used (at least, I don't know how) for automatic dependency resolution, <sigh>. ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
