Difficulties with Yum
 
Just installed Fedora Core 5 and doing yum update
However, when I type in this command I get:
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: core
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: core

Read a few blogs and uncommented the first baseurl in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-core.repo

Now I try again yum update and I get this error message:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...ta/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2009 20:38:04 GMT
Server: Apache
Content-Length: 249
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Trying other mirror.
Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: core
failure: repodata/repomd.xml from core: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
Error: failure: repodata/repomd.xml from core: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

What am I doing wrong??? Thank you.

i would guess that it is b/c Fedora 5 is way past end of life. most mirrors are gone

For sure
 
Yeah I figured that out about 10 minutes later, I guess my first post should have been a little more challenging, ha. Thanks for your reply this is definitely a great site for helping each other out with linux.
