While the editing of '/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources' and using a mirror is

the update application. Could be time for an RFE. :)
I'm not sure if this is what you are suggesting,
but I certainly don't want to go through the rigmarole
of choosing a mirror every time I run up2date.
I understand what he wants.. Maybe a drop-down list in the configuration
part of up2date... Then it would save your choices in the
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources.. Just a GUI to make things easier to new
users.... And you wouldnt need to chose the mirror every time...
