I am really pleased so far at the results of using the Fedora 10

Yay!
I just got network routing set up over a Ethernet gadget USB OTG
device,
and I found yum doesn't seem to work somehow.
I can tcpdump the PC side of the Ethernet gadget link and I see that it
is getting the right URL from the mirrorlist server

Is this an armv6l CPU? There was a bug in yum (since been fixed
upstream, but I don't know if we've backported the patch) due to the
initial yum ARM support patch being misapplied (by hand). If
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rpmUtils/arch.py says "armv61" instead
of "armv6l", this is probably what's causing it, and we should backport
that patch. (In the meanwhile, you should be able to just sed that
file (and arch.pyc and arch.pyo) to fix it.)
