Hi all,

I am trying to use yum to install abiword on my Fedora Core system.

The error I have been receiving suggets to me that the rpm repositories
I have been trying to access are not available.  To resolve this
problem, I tried adding 
http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/ to the list of repositories at the bottom
of /etc/yum.conf.  However when I run yum it does not [apparently] even
look there.  I have pasted the full output of my yum session below.  Can
anyone help me out on what I need to do in order to get the system to
use a functioning repository?

thanks heaps guys

David.
