Hi Jim-
What mirror were you using for extras-dev?  I keep getting errors (more than 
50, mostly about bad tags and parser errors)

[extras-development]
name=Fedora Extras $releasever - Development Tree
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/development/$basearch/
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-extras-devel
enabled=1
gpgkey=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/RPM-GPG-KEY-Fedora-Extras
gpgcheck=0
