The file should be: ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5x/x86_64/SL/yum-conf-5x-1-8.SL.noarch.rpm (after you've installed it check the contents of the files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ and see if they point to the version you want) > Also, it is a "noarch" file. 'noarch' means it doesn't contain any compiled binary files (which are arch-specific). However this particular RPM contains config files which happen to need to be different depending on the architecture. Tim
