but, fails when I use my internal mirror.
My internal mirror is just a rsync of the Fedora 8 DVD.
Then compare the two. There must be something different. Maybe Fedora DVDs are different from their repos. Maybe just an additional or removed word in the path. I can just talk about CentOS and there I have successfully installed from mirrors that I created by copying the DVD to the drive and by rsyncing the latest CentOS base repo.
Kai's right the CD/DVD repo has a different directory structure then the HTTP repo. Not a problem when using 'yum' as it finds out the structure from 'repodata', but for clients that want to directly access the data it can throw them for a loop.
