I tried it just then with no problems.  I cut and pasted your command
from above so this is the exact same thing you tried.  All over in a
couple of seconds.  So there is no problem with the server.  Here is
the output I get (as reformatted by me email system) -

I'm not sure what you mean about your DSL connection though.  Could be
any number of things wrong with it that I could not guess at from
here.  First thing is to make sure you can connect to the Internet at
all from YDL.  You could even download the file using the same computer
you used to download the DVD, copy the file onto a memory stick or burn
it onto a CD or something.

On the other hand, in the 20061208 version of the YDL DVD is the file
you are trying to download in the YellowDog/RPMS directory.

But the main problem you will have once you get the file is that a
standard def TV is really too low a resolution for Linux graphics
mode.  It will work, but it will be barely usable.
