As far as I can see, this means that yum is looking for the file metalink at mirrors.fedoraproject.org ?

If I try "sudo yum update" I get:

Why would you want to link to Fedora's Repo's? So you can have an unstalbe Centos box?

My server is running under CentOS-5.3 . My laptop is running under Fedora-11.

Actually, I do use the EPEL repository on the server, and this uses the same fedoraproject site, so the same problem arises there.
