I installed centos 4.2 but I cant get yum working, i always get a timeout error with repodata/primary.xml.gz from base. How can i solve this?
Are you behind a proxy? Can you paste the URL that yum complains about into your web browser and retrieve the file? Can you ping the repository server?
The proxy is open for that server. I can download the file using wget. And the problem still persists today.
Yum doesn't work well with transparent proxies
you can set proxy info within the etc/yum.conf file ...
see "man yum.conf" for proxy info
