# yum install gd-devel
Loading “installonlyn” plugin
Setting up Install Process

core [1/3]
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: core
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: core
The solution was relatively simple if obscure – I found it here.
I simply changed the enabled=1 to enabled=0 in:
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-core.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-extras.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo
{ 3 comments… read them below or add one }

I am trying to install tftp server and got the same error as Atul.
I used the suggestions given by Paul, but didnt work.
@Atul: Well, you wouldn’t expect yum to find any updates if you disable the repository, would you?
When you set enabled=0, that is what you do.
Fedora Core 5 is no longer supported, and should not be used.
