Problems with YUM / FC1 repositories?

[Geert Vanderkelen]

Hey Harry,

Did you try mirrors? Check /etc/yum.conf

[base]
baseurl=http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/fedora-core/$releasever/$basearch/os

[updates-released]
baseurl=http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/fedora-core/updates/$releasever/$basearch

There is a list of mirrors on fedora.redhat.com
