You may be using the sample yum.conf file that is for Fedora Core 2, 
rather than 1. The url for the sample yum.conf you posted seems to go to 
the FC2 sample yum.conf.

There is a different yum.conf available for Fedora Core 1 that is 
available at this url:

http://www.fedorafaq.org/fc1/samples/yum.conf

Try that one out, and see how it works for you!

Hope this helps,
