According to mozilla, this is the directory location:
http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/

I've now edited my yum.conf file thus:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[base]
name=Red Hat Linux $releasever - $basearch - Base
baseurl=http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/$releasever/$basearch/


[updates]
name=Red Hat Linux $releasever - Updates
baseurl=http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/$releasever/
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I *still* get the following output:

root]# yum update rawhide

Is there something wrong with the syntax in my yum.conf?
