I could add the url minus the serviceinfo.xml portion. Sinc I am  
currently on FC3T1, no version was know.

I get this error when trying to add this channel.

Unable to mount service for 'http://open-carpet.org/services/livna/':  
Unable to determine distribution type

(fault -617)

Go to the edit pulldown. Then go to services. On the popup box, add the  
url passed on minus the serviceinfo.xml portion as below.

http://open-carpet.org/services/livna/

I successfully added a local directory and installed downloaded rpms  
from the same directory that I use for up2date. As stated earlier, I  
have no known version for the channels available at this service  
location.

Maybe a channel can be added for FC3 - JK. (I'll try this out when in  
FC2 mode for remote package retrieval. This looks like it might be  
interesting to try.)
