I cannot confirm how it got there, but in my /etc/yum.repos.d directory I have 
a fedora-legacy.repo file which contains

[legacy-updates]
name=Fedora Legacy $releasever - $basearch - Updates
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/legacy-updates-released-fc$releasever
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-legacy

[legacy-testing]
name=Fedora Legacy $releasever - $basearch - Updates Testing
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/legacy-updates-testing-fc$releasever
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-legacy

Is this what is needed to activate "legacy" support. 

I must say my box is FC5 so I haven't worried about it too much.. I have the 
normal repos online and these legacy repos disabled.

cheers Chris
