yum: help getting started

[Michael D. Berger]

On my newly installed FC-4, I am, without success, trying

# yum list updates

I have modified fedora-updates.repo and
fedora-updates-testing.repo in various ways.

A sample follows.  Other variations involved
applying the '#' to different lines.

  [updates-released]
  name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates
  baserul=http://redhat.secsup.org/fedora/core/updates/4/i386/
 
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$re
leasever/   $basearch/
 
#mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/updates-released-fc$re
leasever
  enabled=1
  gpgcheck=1
  gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fed

Here are some diagnostics I have gotton:

  http://redhat.secsup.org/fedora/core/updates/4/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: 
  [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name
resolution')>
  Trying other mirror.
  Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: updates-released
  failure: repodata/repomd.xml from updates-released: [Errno 256] No more
mirrors to try.

  Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates-released

Thanks in advance for your help.

Mike.
