Hi all,

I have an very old and cranky laptop that won't install past f14, used 
mostly as a scanner/print station.

I'm trying to update some of its software using yum.  I created a repo, 
fedora-archive.repo:

[archive]
name=Fedora 14 - i386
failovermethod=priority
baseurl=http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/14/Fedora/i386/os/
enabled=1
metadata_expire=7d
gpgcheck=1

Given this command:

   yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=fedora-archive.repo update -y

fails with:

   Error getting repository data for fedora-archive.repo, repository not 
found.

The baseurl is accessible and does point to a repo.

Any helpers?

tia,
mike wright
