FC4 - Yum won't update


I've got FC4 installed on an old PC. I tried to do a yum update and it runs for awhile, asks me if it's ok to download 113mb, starts downloading, and ends with the error "IndexError: list index out of range".

This follows a bunch of 404 errors. Do I just need to change the mirror I'm updating from? If so, how would I do that?

Thanks for any and all help,
-Nick

FC4 hasn't been supported for quite a while now.
This may be part of your problem.
I don't know anything about a "list index"

The mirror urls are part of the "repo" files in /etc/yum.repos.d

They should be pointing to the legacy site, that took over when Fedora stopped supporting FC4. But legacy have also stopped FC4 support now.

As far as I know the only recent updates you might get is from the unofficial sites, like dag, dries, freshrpms etc.
