yum repom.d


hi guys,
i am getting this message when trying to make a yum update:

Code:
 yum update firefox
Loading "changelog" plugin
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Loading "allowdowngrade" plugin
Setting up Update Process
Setting up repositories
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2009 16:30:56 GMT
Server: Apache
Content-Length: 254
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: updates
i have fedora 6, an these are lines from my fedora-updates.repo file:

Code:
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Updates
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/
mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-fc$releasever&arch=$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora
i wonder where to find the baseurl ?

the problems begans when the baseurl line (in the repomd file) was unwexpetabily changed to a commentary line. I uncomentaried that line but now, the baseurl link does not exist.

thanks in advance,

Hector

Fedora 6 is no longer supported, and the updates have been removed from the server. You will need to upgrade to a more recent version (11 is current).
