Rép. : Re: [K12OSN] FC5 now legacy?

[Guy-Michel Lessard]

Ha ha! that explains my problem yesterday with updating V4.4.1. 
My workaround was to move out the Fedora folders in ...repos.d and just keeping the K12ltsp ones.

Actually there is more to it than the sites being overwhelmed with traffic. 
When attempting to download FC6 I didn't get a "timed out" message, I got a 
"404" (not found) message. The mirrors work because their networks aren't 
being re-arranged.

The same problem is being seen at the fedora legacy respositories (I have and 
FC4 machine that uses it). I think that Fedora and RedHat are moving the 
location of many websites.
