I installed F7 from the DVD image, and receive the same results attempting to run a normal upgrade. sudo yum upgrade Password: Loading "kernel-module" plugin Loading "fedorakmod" plugin Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Upgrade Process fedora 100% |=========================| 2.1 kB 00:00 Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-7 error was [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2007 13:16:16 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat) Content-Length: 317 Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Error: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: core [grkeehn@SE7Linux A60Linux]$
Adobe now has its own yum repo for installing the flash-plugin. Here is the adobe-release RPM, which contains an adobe-linux.repo file and a GPG key: http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-1.0-0.noarch.rpm and here are the contents of adobe-linux.repo: [adobe-linux] name=Adobe Systems Incorporated baseurl=http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/$basearch/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
This is Adobe's fault as they're not providing an x86_64 repo, but on x86_64 $basearch expands out to x86_64. See http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml vs http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/i386/repodata/repomd.xml
