You actually don't want samba, that would help you serve printers. You want CUPS. Cups helpsyou serve and use printers. Rememberthe URL I sent you that started with archive? Have you tried that as a repo? Something like: baseurl= http://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/ or baseurl= http://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$... Also, give some better background with questions you ask, it will help people help you. -Randall On Aug 29, 2011 5:59 AM, "Ken Jones" <kjones@employees.org> wrote:

I've got Fedora Core 6 Evolution working so I can cut and paste. I tried to use the "retrieve update information" tool. I think everything is WAY out of date. The update tool said. "Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: extras"

I can't find one either. I checked the fedora-core.repo file:

$ more fedora-core.repo [core] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch #baseurl= http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$ba search/os/

I went there and got.

The requested URL no longer exists.... URL /pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$bahttp:// download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/was not found on this server.

All I want is SAMBA to work so I can interact with the my WINDOWS machines - particularly the one with the BROTHER printer attached.
