Could not retrieve mirror list
http://mirros.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-10&arch=i386
error was
[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')>
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository:
fedora,
Please verify its path and try again.
What do I need to do to fix this, please?
[ Notes:
1) I had to type this all out by hand - could not get Places->Networks
working, no matter what I tried. Network access to LAN works, but
somehow, browsing of network via SMB does not work, and yes, I did
use the System->Administration->Authentication SMB settings
as there was nothing else available that I can see to configure
smb, other than manually editing the /etc/samba/smb.conf file,
but even my changes to this file does not seem to work either.
2) Gparted would have been a nice addition to the LiveCD as I
use it regularly to prepare the drive before handing it off to
the installer, imo.
