# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo

Can anyone advice? Please

Fedora 6 is pretty old, but I don't know if that relates to your issue.

I would simply upgrade to something more current.

If you want to use the old Fedora 6, links must be
changed to "the old archive".
The " baseurl= " + " mirrorlist= " adresses, you list
were valid until about January 2008.

Example i386 address :
http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pu...ore/6/i386/os/
.....

Be aware that FC6 is no longer supported. Support for it was dropped coming up on three years ago, there have been no updates since that time.

If you really liked FC6 you may want to consider switching to Centos5.X. Centos is RHEL with the logos removed. RHEL5.X(and thus Centos5.X) were based on FC6. RHEL/Centos5.X will have support until 2014.
