[fedora-arm] Yum trouble

Hi -

I am really pleased so far at the results of using the Fedora 10 
armv5tel stuff on an i.MX31 embedded device.

I just got network routing set up over a Ethernet gadget USB OTG device, 
and I found yum doesn't seem to work somehow.

I can tcpdump the PC side of the Ethernet gadget link and I see that it 
is getting the right URL from the mirrorlist server

... and it does seem to get a non-empty repo file from there.  But, 
nothing is ever found by yum...

Nothing to do

-bash-3.2# rpm -q tcpdump
package tcpdump is not installed

It doesn't help to set a specific baseurl either

baseurl=http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Everything/arm/os/Packages/

I can see this example telnet package sitting there if I visit that URL 
with a browser.

Any ideas what I am missing?
