The solution isn't pretty though. It's where the files are on the ftp server that makes the difference. Historically, there was a Fedora directory with a directory called base and another called RPMS. Fedora Core 5 and later don't seem to expect that. I had to link the RPMS from the root of the install tree. The repodata directory seemingly has to be accessible from the Fedora/base directory instead of the normal place, Fedora/RPMS. So I end up with 2k+ links in the root directory on my ftp server for the rpm packages covering up the iso directory and the mount points for the individual iso images. I think I can tweak this some to unhide the mount points now that I know the proper directory structure. Is is too much to ask for the Fedora community to publish what has to be done on the ftp server to create a usable repository? Maybe I didn't give google the right search terms...
