fc6 test 3 help

[Guy Schlosser]

Hey all, if I could get some help with FC6, test 3, I'd greatly 
appreciate it.  I installed my FC6 test 3 from a DVD ISO, and have 
two problems.  Number 1:  When I run Yum, I get an error that says 
"cannot read repomd.xml".  2: there is no GCC on my hard drive.  I 
selected the web server check boxes during the package installation, 
and all seemed to go OK.  Can I install more packages (such as 
GCC)?  What is the best way to do that?  Also, how can I get yum to 
work for me?  Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks,

Guy

Wrong list. Try fedora-test instead. This list is not for test
releases.

The mirror list had some issues in test 3. Try uncommenting that and 
enabling the base url in the repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d.  Once you 
do that, you should be able to do, yum install gcc.

Note that fedora-test list has already these discussions and is a better 
place to ask test release/test updates questions.
