That doesn't work either.  I edited /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-rawhide.repo 
to comment out the metalink line and uncomment the mirrorlist line in 
the [rawhide] section, did a "yum clean metadata", then get the same 
error, preceded by the additional error

Could not retrieve mirrorlist 
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=rawhide&arch=x86_64 
error was
[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error [Errno 2] No such file or directory>

even though I can bring this URL up in my browser and get a 
normal-looking list of mirrors.
