Try http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/ye.../updates/RPMS/
or http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/ye...m/5.0/updates/ The package name cannot be included in these lines. Rgds |
Thanks dude...but I am a newbie and I don't know how to use these links and commands.
If you could post all those commands to install vlc,would be great. Thanks agn. |
Hello kkrockstar.
Have you tried adding additional repositories to your YUM configuration? |
VLC media player for Fedora
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-fedora.html If you want to do changes to your repo : Google keyword : change repo yum And please use "LQ Search" for info. Config files are e.g /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo (a new link can be added there) If you want to install a downloaded package, not found in your repo, the command is # 'rpm -Uvh <package-name.rpm>' but yum should be preferred. Rgds |
but what is the exact reason bro that while installing vlc through yum command, the host is unreachable ?(error 404)
also tell me step wise please that how to get rid of it. thanks |

Thanks everyone for their nice support.I added some extra repositories to my yum.repos.d folder and it worked for me
,but in the end, can someone post a list of all featured yum repositories or where can be they found at one place ? Thanks once again for being this much helpful to newbies like me. |
I've never seen a list like this, and I rather doubt one exists. Not all of the repo guys get along, and worse still, there are incompatibilities between certain repos (used to be livna vs dag/atrmps etc - is that still the case?)
Experience helps, but that isn't really an answer that helps you |

404 doesn't mean computer can't be got to. it means file doesn't exist. can't you just search on the web for a file you can down load and install from? |
