[K12OSN] broken link in k12ltsp.repo?

[Terrell Prude' Jr.]

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]$
