Okay, thanks for pointing me to Koji. Can I set up a yum repo for it? 
How do I code it?

Also, can I set up a repo for Fedora 12 updates in Fedora 11, using 
Mark's suggested repo coding? Or has the location for Fedora 12 updates 
changed to Koji? If I take in Fedora 12 versions, will I risk my virtual 
machines dropping dead?

Thanks

Bob
