Yum Updates (1.0 - 1.92)

  I have a clean install of Aurora 1.0 that I'm trying to update, first
to the latest 1.0 RPMs, and ultimately to the latest 1.92.  I'm
following Adam Kropelin's excellent instructions, as posted on the
Aurora site. I'm no expert in using YUM, but the instructions are pretty
clear.  However, I can't seem to find a server with the appropriate YUM
headers that I can link to in order to do the first step of updating all
the 1.0 packages.  Looking on the Aurora main page, there are several
sites with ISO downloads, and RPM directories, but I get an assortment
of errors when I try to use the yum tool to update.  For example, using
the auroralinux.org server:

-----------------------------------------------------------
Gathering package information from servers
Getting headers from: Aurora 1.0 Base
Error getting file http://www.auroralinux.org/pub/aurora/build-1.0/en/os/sparc/headers/header.info
[Errno 6] ERROR: Url Return no Content-Length  - something is wrong
-----------------------------------------------------------

I tried the server: ftp://angus.ind.wpi.edu

This gives me:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Error getting file ftp://angus.ind.wpi.edu/pub/mirrors/aurora/build-1.0/en/os/sparc/headers/header.info
[Errno 4] IOError: [Errno ftp error] [Errno ftp error] 500 Illegal PORT command.
-----------------------------------------------------------

I'm connected through another Linux box which is acting as a firewall.  It's
running Fedora Core1 on an Intel box.

Any idea where I should look, or which of the mirror servers I should be
using???  Do I need another yum update?  Am I missing other packages?
