I've just installed FC2 Test 3 today (very nice!) and was wanting
to add
some additional packages/functionality. However, I'm having a problem
getting packages via yum.
For example, I get the following message:
[root@localhost Desktop]# yum update
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 1.92 - i386 - Base
retrygrab() failed for:

Error getting file
http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/fedora/fedora/fedora/1.92/i386/yum/os/he...
[Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
Is this caused by bad mirrors, nothing yet for this release, or
something else entirely? Anyone else having success with yum and
installing on this latest version?
Attached is my yum.conf as well.
Thanks.

# This is a yum.conf for Fedora Core.
# It uses Fedora mirrors to make things faster,
# since the main Red Hat Fedora site is pretty slow.
#
# Also, if you look down in the "Alternate Repositories"
# section, you'll notice some commented-out repositories.
# If you want to use them, uncomment them.

That sounds like bad mirrors. Here is my yum.conf file it may be useful
to you but I don't know where you are. They may be slow but they work
for me so you will be able to at least tell if it is caused by bad mirrors.
