I've installed lots of CentOS. But in in this case the software (which 
indeed ought to work on CentOS) is only supported on FC7, 8 and "okay 
you can install FC9"

AFTER I've tried FC I can get creative and try other distros.

I presume the default "Fedora" is correct for repository name?

I tried also 
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/i386/os/
and 
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Fedora/i386/os/
but same  error
cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for
repository anaconda-Fedora-2008050721150.i386

 etc...
