I does. I just can't make it work. Here's my cobbled up yum.conf

# See the yum.conf(5) man page for information the syntax of this file, # including
failover setup.

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
exclude=kernel*

[base]
gpgcheck=1
name=Fedora Core $releasever - Base
baseurl=http://download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/$releasever/os/$basearch # PAF adds
this line
baseurl = http://apt.sw.be/fedora/1/en/$basearch/dag

[updates]
gpgcheck=1
name=Fedora Core $releasever updates
# PAF adds this line
baseurl = http://apt.sw.be/fedora/1/en/$basearch/dag

[rpmforge]
name = Fedora Core $releasever - RPMforge.net - dag
baseurl = http://apt.sw.be/fedora/1/en/$basearch/dag
mirrorlist = http://apt.sw.be/fedora/1/en/mirrors-rpmforge
#mirrorlist = file:///etc/yum.repos.d/mirrors-rpmforge
enabled = 1
gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmforge-dag
gpgcheck = 1

Which Does this:

[root at Beaker tmp]# yum install spamassassin
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 1 - Base
Server: Fedora Legacy utilities for Fedora Core 1
retrygrab() failed for:

Can you suggest what it should be?
