Try looking in /etc/yum.repos.d/k12ltsp.repo and see if that file has
the correct path info in it. On my system (K12LTSP 4.2EL), it reads as
follows. Note that the path is version-specific.
[microman at takhisis yum.repos.d]$ more k12ltsp.repo
[k12ltsp]
name=K12LTSP
mirrorlist=http://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/mirrors/k12ltsp-4.2EL-32bit
gpgkey=http://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/K12LTSP-GPG-KEY
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
[microman at takhisis yum.repos.d]$
