The documentation found at http://www.fedoralegacy.org/docs/yum-rh8.php does 
not function because a critical file is missing from FedoraLegacy's 
repository!  The file referenced actually exists in 7.2's repository - there 
is no 8.0 upgrade for python anywhere in 8.0/updates/i386.


Output as follows:

The specific line which causes the issue is:

http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/8.0/updates/i386/python-1.5.2-
43.72.i386.rpm - transfer failed - Unknown or unexpected error


In turn, this then generates a failure when downloading and installing YUM 
because of a RPM 4.1.1 clash.

The offending line was removed from the doc.  I'm not sure if there is
still a problem without this line, but if so it can be addressed in bug
1583
