Hi all,<BR>
<BR>
I am trying to use yum to install abiword on my Fedora Core system.<BR>
<BR>
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 <BR>
<A HREF="http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/">http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/</A> to the list of repositories at the bottom of /etc/yu<TT>m.conf. However when I run yum</TT> it do<TT>es not [apparently] even look there. I have pasted </TT>the full output of my yum session below. Can anyone help me out on what I need to do in order to get<TT> the system to use a functioning repository?</TT><BR>
<BR>
thanks heaps guys<BR>
<BR>
David.<BR>
