XO's cannot use mirror repo's in YUM update or install

[Chris Marshall]

I had the same problem last week.  I did determine that the Fedora packages
had been archived but I could not figure out how to get yum to work.  Maybe
it is a different type of repository?  At any rate, I was unable to get yum
to work.
