The fedora.repo config file contains the following:
[fedora]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch
failovermethod=priority
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/
mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-$relea...
^^^^^
This is the URL where the mirrorlist is downloaded.
You would substitute the variables appropriately:
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-9&arch=i386
If you can load that URL without problems, your problem with Yum is
elsewhere. Try disabling the fastestmirror plugin. Try interrupting
Yum to take a look at the downloaded and cached mirrorlist.txt file
before it is removed:
removing mirrorlist with no valid mirrors:
//var/cache/yum/fedora/mirrorlist.txt
Do you have enough free space below /var?
What happens if you "yum --disablerepo=fedora update"?
Same problem with the remaining repositories?
# yum clean metadata
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
0 metadata files removed
0 sqlite files removed
0 metadata files removed
Empty metadata cache prior to running this command? that's strange. Perhaps
you've run this more than once.
