Problem:
If you're trying to install syslinux on an Oracle Linux VirtualBox VM, you may get the following error:
[root@soa-training ~]# yum install syslinux
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit, ulninfo
Setting up Install Process
http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/UEK/latest/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 5 - "Couldn't resolve proxy 'www-proxy.us.oracle.com'"
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: public_ol6_UEK_latest. Please verify its path and try again
Solution:
1. On the Linux VM, navigate to System > Preferences > Network Proxy.
2. Make sure to select "Direct internet connection" and then click on Close.
3. Edit /etc/yum.conf and comment out the following line:
#proxy=http://www-proxy.us.oracle.com:804. Try running yum install syslinux again.
Applicable Versions:
- Oracle Linux 6+ VM

Thank you Ahmed for this solution because I was almost giving up on these Oracle Virtual Machines ! There are so many errors which require developers or end-users to fix them before you can use these VMs.
Worked great! Thanks!
