Sorry, extra backslash (/) is also not working, same error Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again
OMG can we please trim these posts a little. :) Are you using a mirrorlist? does your proxy allow ftp traffic as well as http traffic through? does your proxyserver restrict which outgoing hosts you can connect to?As a test, try changing the repo definition to use the baseurl rather than the mirrorlist.
* If that doesn't work: can you manually download the repomd.xml file that seems unreachable? These lines will wrap! curl -x http://172.161.432.234:8080 -U arun:arun258 -O \ http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml Regards Stuart -- Stuart Sears RHCA etc.
